I have read the alternatives

KA is already in use.( see handbook for radio operators) It indicates the beginning of a transmission ie KA SM6XXX DE G3KEV K

EE also in use for the letter I

E E means what it says and in use

GE also in use in amateur procedure Good Evening

I suggested CE because of the above restrictions. It is hard to find something not already in use and shorter than CQ

CE is also in use in the Japanese morse code ie KI but is not likely to cause any confusion here in the West at present on LF
