The ARRL has NOTHING to do with it. The FCC has suggestions on the speed
- though I can't recall them off hand. Used to be 20WPM. I don't think
there is anything stopping a CW ID now - from sending slower - since the
code is only 5WPM max. It would take longer to go out - and drop the
repeater - which to some "could" get nerve wracking.

How can new hams and upgrades ever be expected to know what repeaters
they're kerchunking? ARRL should do something about this.

Repeaters with voice ID's need to be programmed to talk slower for new
hams as well.
