But its the rules!

§ 97.119 Station identification.
(a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand
station, must transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting
channel at the end of each communication, and at least every 10
minutes during a communication, for the purpose of clearly making
the source of the transmissions from the station known to those
receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit unidentified
communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign, any
call sign not authorized to the station.
(b) The call sign must be transmitted with an emission authorized
for the transmitting channel in one of the following ways: (1) By a
CW emission. When keyed by an automatic device used only for
identification, the speed must not exceed 20 words
per
minute;

So, there is a "speed=" in the morse
stanza. Does it have a governor on it to limit the speed maximum
to 20 wpm? My entries greater than 20 make no difference. And
why would I want faster than 20 wpm you ask, my HUB nodes are
only send "ID" to web transceivers, and I would like them
faster. I have observed that at 20 wpm, there is a bit of jitter
and faster may not be possible. (An ID I built years ago had a
limit on how fast it could go before the code elements were
overrun by timing)
I've been meaning to ask that same question.
Rules wise, since there's no CW requirement *at all* for 'any'
license, then there shouldn't be a speed limit on how fast
repeater id's should be limited to.
I like my code speed around 30~35wpm these days. I used to copy
NTS traffic at 40+wpm. 20wpm is such a '~*yawn*~' bore...
