I have tweaked my CQ a little over the years, but have settled with:

CQ TEST CQ TEST N2IC N2IC

Note - no speed changes, no trailing "test". Spend a few minutes and listen to 
the other USA high-scoring beacons in a major contest - K3LR, W3LPL, KC1XX. 
You'll hear them all doing something very similar. And almost without exception, 
you'll also hear all of them giving their call after every QSO.

Why mess with success ?
