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

Why not just send 'C'? We already have reports reduced to a single letter
and 'QRZ?' reduced to just '?'.

On a similar note, it would help to define signals for 'send faster' and
'send slower'. I suggest 'Q' for 'QRQ' or faster, and 'S' for QRS or slower.
Note that the Q would be used whilst in QSO, so should not be confused with
'CQ'.
