Jiri,
Clearly, I must have gored your ox. Sorry.
What you say is simply not so. It is all a matter of definition. I see
no reason that M2 couldn't be defined as having either only 2 ops
and/or 2 signals on the bands at any one time. Period. No other
restrictions. Compare this to 9 signals and a million ops. Clearly
different "classes". Bands should have nothing to do with it. It
should really be a matter only of the number of signals and/or
operators.
Perhaps no distinction is necessary at all. Either you are single or
multi.
After all M2 exists only to try to "level" the playing field and
create more winners and fewer whiners.
I'd like to point out that the use of packet in some contests puts a
single op in the multi class. Doesn't see fair either. Again, its a
matter of definition.
