The only thing you should send after a CQ is a k, and even then, a long K if
possible. BK means "break", and it's used as Lou described.

Hi,
Or you can use bk, that is one I was taught to use, especially on cw. Now if
you are just calling cq for a contack, then it's just k since you don't know
who you are going to end up with.
