I think the FCC has it right. Every 10 minutes complies with the law.
If you wish to ID more often, that's your prerogative.
What's all the fuss, anyway? If I run across a LID who isn't IDing
often enough for my taste, I just find some other station to work.
Besides, the "big guns" generally "run" in a contest, sometimes have a
2nd receiver to catch rarer DX, but spend little time doing S&P.
For me, with my "mighty 5 watts to an antenna proven to be somewhat
better than a dummy load buried 6' underground" most of my operation is
S&P at a rate which is akin to watching paint dry.

Hello,
While it is a step in the right direction, ID'ing in a timely manner; i.e 1
minute, it is too subjective and will easily be violated. Please consider a
more definitive approach....something like: id'ing must be done at least every
3-5 qsos. Most good ops ID more often than that. Even if a station is running
at 5 qsos/minute, waiting for the call of a station will not cause the listener
that much of a loss of valuable time.
Carol
