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.

Repeaters with voice ID's in big cities need to be programmed to talk in
Ebonics so as not to discriminate against blacks / negroes / colored people
/ African Americans that have never been to Africa .

I'm not saying all new hams or upgraders are stupid, but looking at the
posters in these groups, you can certainly tell the bar has been lowered.
but most of the poster are long term longlicesne holder.
