Paul, I usually give them the Exchange and TU all in one transmission, some
get it and don't come back, others don't and still send tu.  When I see the
TU at the beginning I immediately hit the F1 button regardless of it they're
transmitting or not.  My CQ comes at the end of my transmission so if
someone copies the call and the remainder of the transmission, they know
it's a cq.

I've got a better one though.  I actually got 2 of these.  The other
operator would send the entire exchange (along with a unneeded 599) and the
callsign at the very end.  Like:

NA KI5XP CQ
KI5XP 599 OK OK OK JIM JIM JIM WW1WWW TU
WW1WWW CHAS LA LA QRZ KI5XP
