Some do that on FT8, others call with the grid first. I remember one VHF
contesting post encouraging to call with the report first to speed up QSOS Sent

wonder how the RTTY operating practice of sending the report when callinga
station started? I have only heard U.S. stations doing this and it wasconfusing
the first time I heard it. You're correct about it starting a yearor so ago,
are FTx QSOs made this way?John KK9AJim Brown K9YC wrote:Yes. But one very bad
habit we need to nip in the bud is those who maketheir initial call with their
complete exchange, covering up other callers.I first encountered it perhaps a
year or so ago. I refuse to work them, andhave a macro for "only send your
call." We need to track down the source ofthe software/sample macro files that
are programmed to do this.73, Jim K9YC (was KU6W this weekend)
