When I have the urge to call CQ on a 2M repeater, I usually say:
"Is anyone around? WB7EEL" or something on the order.  I have yet to
receive a complaint.  My only objection to someone who would say
"CQ from ax1e"* would be the fact that "CQ" belongs to CW, and the more
informal nature of 2M makes the terse "CQ" rather silly.

*apologies to the hypothetical AX1E, the visual pun was too tempting.
