I agree that screaming anything over and over again would be improper procedure.
However, given the nature of satellite work, a person can't always get the full call from the last downlink. I don't see why substituting some identifying grid or partial call is an issue as long as it's part of the normal call process. How is "W7 station from alpha india nine india november" worse than a regular call?
"You want my grid say my call" sounds annoying to me.

Another "TIP" for the operator(s) who seem to be unable/refuse to say the callsign they want to work. Screaming out "gridline station" or "roving station" then your call trying to get them over and over.. is annoying.
As another op said to them once on the air "you want my gird say my call"
