[WriteLog] M2 mult station setup

[halken]

It's helpful to be really clear on the rules. The rules do not say 
anything about interlocks.  The ARRL rules for M/2 say "no more than two 
signals transmitted simultaneously."  You can accomplish that with 
hardware, software or hand signals between the ops.  Interlocks, per se, 
are not required.
