REPLY:

Which makes me wonder whether we really need a CQ at the start of the
macro? I've seen the CW guys do it like W6WRT TEST, although I like to
send my call twice on RTTY.

How about:

W6WRT W6WRT CQ
or
W6WRT W6WRT WPX
or
W6WRT W6WRT TEST

Or is this going too far?

Looks a little strange but maybe I'll try that next time.
