Well if you don't identify when you come aboard, how does the gang know who

Wayne,
Actually as others have said, it's only when you actually end a conversation
and every ten minutes. There is no requirement to ID when you come up on a
particular freq.
I usually follow similar procedures as you do depending partly on the length
of transmissions.
