That's actually may be a good idea. How about using GO.

CQ AA5AU AA5AU GO

Callsigns following CQ are RUN stations. Callsigns preceding the word GO are RUN stations. Callsigns trailing GO are S&P.

maybe there could be on “word” that the consensus agrees on to use at the end, and that word could be eliminated from the ini file ?????

I wouldn't be against adding QRZ at the end instead of CQ. The point is that someone tuning across a signal sees someone callsign once or twice and you don't know if that station is calling someone or calling CQ. By placing CQ (or QRZ) at the end, you know right away what's going and no need to wait and continue listening (time wasted).
