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.

I think this came up before. If a 2m repeater can identify itself with
morse code, why can't an SSB operator? One could send a conventional CW CQ
every five minutes or so, and takes only about 5 seconds to ID at 40 RPM.
Should be enough to get spotted by RBN.
The problem is many skimmers today don't monitor phone segments. And nobody
is expecting to see RBN spots there. But just an idea...:)

This would be a multi-mode transmission which, in a single-mode SSB
contest, would get you DQed.

Seems some smart guys, like the skimmer guys or the RBN crowd, could come
up with a sub-audible identifying system that would send the station\'s
call
sign with each of his transmissions, especially on phone. Why not?
The receiver has a decoder for that system and reads the call sign on his
monitor or hears it in, gasp, CW as made audible by the system.
I suggest the name of the System be the GS, or Gripe Stopper.
