Gain all, lose nothing:
Try
CQ MEMORY F9 = @?

The default for F9 is a single ?. If the call window is empty, @? will still
send that single ?, if a (partial) call has been entered, this will be sent
followed by a ?. This does it for me in almost any situation when CQing. In
S&P/EX mode, the default Alt-F1 and Alt-F10 are sufficient for me.
