Many people use that here, but your first transmission should contain
your Callsign - Establish contact. That's what our BR68 says.

Of course, fine. Once you've got a Callsign then you don't have to keep
repeating them (especially in phonetics). It's common practice on FM
Simplex QSOs if you want to pass it back briefly...
Other favourites: "...go" "...go ahead" "...break" "...back to you"
Right, I'm off to polish my QSO technique...
