[WriteLog] M2 mult station setup

[Dean St. Hill]

Hal

If you read the current CQWW Rules section IX General Rules no.7 says quite
clearly -

"Only one signal on a band is allowed at any time. When two or more
transmitters are present on the same band, a hardware device MUST be used
to prevent more than one signal at any one time. Alternating CQs on two or
more frequencies on a band is not permitted"

Originally many of the typical stations would have had a single transmitter
per band BUT in the last several years the strategies have evolved to the
point where I almost expect someone to come up with a device that manages
the words per transmited signal to allow two signals to interleave on a
single band - some kind of quasi TDMA switch.

So anyway the rules are quite clear.
