You can try flight watch at lower altitudes, you just might not be too low to get a good signal. If you can't hail anyone on 122.0 try the local FSS. As for the callup, that sounds perfect except on initial callup just give them your callsign and what you are transmitting and recieving on. When they say "callsign go ahead" then rattle off all the rest of it. The reason is they don't usually have someone sitting right there by the radio like ATC does, so when they get a call someone will usually have to put down their donut, put away the crossword puzzle, walk across the room to the radio and answer your call. You don't want to bombard them with too much information until they are there and ready to copy. Same goes for flight watch. In fact, I could be wrong, but my understanding is 122.0 simply transimts to the nearest FSS. If you call them "Flight Watch" on initial callup, all that means to them is you are transmitting and recieving on 122.0.
