A radio call: calling and reading back

A first call always has the same order: who you call, who you are, where you are and what you want.

Who you call is the aerodrome's name with the service after it, such as Ground, Tower or Information. You say the name, not the code EDDF.

Who you are is your callsign: for a private aircraft usually the registration, D⁠-⁠ECLR.
