Right. What's been missing in this discussion is that if a General class
licensee operates at a station with an Extra class control op, the control
op's callsign must be used if the station is operated with Extra class
privileges. So, if KA1LBW operates at station XYZ (it really doesn't matter
which one), and WC1M is present as the control op, KA1LBW must sign WC1M in
order to use Extra class privileges. If, however, the station is operated
under the KA1LBW callsign, using Extra class privileges, it must be id'ed as
KA1LBW/WC1M. Not very practical, so unless it's some sort of special event
station, most people would opt to sign WC1M.
