Ah so.   Looks like the ARRL and CQ rules differ.... Thanks for the correction!

>> 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.
