Sometimes, the exchange drags on and people chat about all kinds of stuff. It is called rag-chewing :)

In other cases, the message is fast and short - the participants only exchange their callsigns and signal reports. Mainly for contests when the goal is to make as many contacts as possible, but also when the conditions are not good and the quality of the signal makes it difficult to have a meaningful conversation.
