I believe that both timeout and retry have to be less than the announce 
intervals.

In your case, retry is set to 99, with the announce intervals set at 30, 
therefore you would get announcements at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150... except that 
retry=99 stops any announcement before 99, therefore the first one you get is 
at 120 (2 minutes).

So, try setting retry to a value not less than 30 and see if that fixes things.
