Pete;
I want to make sure I understand this correctly (seriously).
My practice is call CQ as follows:
CQ TEST K0AD
My QRZ is simply:
TU K0AD
Am I likely to still be stopped by the RBN? I would like to minimize
using my call sign twice or ending with TEST. However, if that is keeping me
from being spotted, I may need to change that.
Of course, many of my CQs are unanswered so the "CQ TEST K0AD" is sent
multiple times with a several second delay between CQs.
Let me know.
73,
Al, K0AD

So long as you have at least two repetitionsof the CQ key-words (CQ,
TEST, FD, UP1 at least) and two repetitions of your call, you'll be
heard and spotted, with the proviso that if you stay on the same
frequency, any given node will only spot you every ten minutes plus the
time it takes to hear you after the ten minutes is up. minimum QSY is ~
500 Hz. DE and K are not necessary.
