I have used “CQ 77 …..” a few times for the same thing and it is not very 
sticky also. In fact, even saved free text messages revert to the standard 
after any attempt to answer a call.

In addition, it appears double-clicking a received message with <CQ_XXX>, which 
is what other non-standard CQ messages I’ve seen decode as (probably my 77 
also, will not initiate a return/answer sequence on double click - you have to 
start one manually (type callsign, generate messages, select TX1, enable tx). 
So, I only send a couple of the CQ 77 messages and followed by a standard CQ, 
or CQ DX.
