Yes on ssb listening for someone to Id is annoying.  Not showing up on spectrum display so no help.  But with cw  I won’t identify as often as usual,still within rules,if the pileup is deep.  10? stations zero beat on me and I sure as hell don’t need any more:).  But ssb.   Yes.  At least every third 73

I don't think this sounds robotic since I pre-recorded the entire phrase, it's not being pieced together like the robo-voicing of call signs.
