Robert and Ron,

Robert, I'm not sure what you mean with *"mist" (sic)* but I guess it's not
much good.

Sometimes some of you people forget that not everybody in the world is a
native English speaker. I do my best to play by the rules and if I'm in
doubt I ask some to help me with it. This is why I posted my question, just
to be sure. I expected some helpful and respectful answers but I guess
I posted my question on the wrong reflector.
By the way, how is your Dutch these days?

If two operators are in the same room of the club station and they both use
a different call sign, then everything is fine. If they use the same call
sign it instantly turns into a M/2 operation even if they have nothing to do
with each other.
That's a way of looking at it and I see now it's the only way to look at it.


Please forgive me that I was so ignorant and failed to interpret the rules
correctly from the start.

John, Thanks for you helpful reply, I appreciate it.

Best 73,
Maarten PD2R
