[CQ-Contest] You want instant I. D. s ?

[Steve London]

Buried in the FCC rules is a 20 WPM limit on automatic devices used only 
for identification:

97.119(b)(1)

(1) By a CW emission. When keyed by an automatic device used only for 
identification, the speed must not exceed 20 words per minute

Since, presumably, the user is also ID'ing on phone, maybe this wouldn't 
apply.

Steve, N2IC
