"Isn't this contrary to FCC regulations?"

The FCC rules for FM translator ID's state that the legal ID can be made by either:

1) Voice announcements, a minimum of three per day.  One between 7 and 9 AM, one between 12:55 and 1:05 PM, and one between 4 and 6 PM.
Or...
2) International Morse code, transmitted once per hour (if voice ID's aren't used) by either FSK (with carrier shift between 5 and 25 kHz) or AM of the FM carrier (with at least 30% modulation and avoiding the audio frequencies used for EAS).

Ref.  47 CFR §74.1283.
