I do not believe that one can control multiple 'stations' without some sort of direct control. Part 97 states that any third party can participate provided that a control operator is present and continuously monitors and supervises the radiocommunication to insure compliance with the rules. For 2 meter repeater operation this usually means ability to terminate a transmission (as in autopatch operation) when the transmission is not in accordance with good amateur practice. My guess would be that 'supervision' is usually interpreted as the ability of the control operator to control (either directly or indirectly) the operation of a station either manually or by some remote facility that provides the equivalent of manual control.

[May I be struck by lightning by what I'm about to say] Have you considered using some of the low power (500 milliwatt) handitalkies that operate in the !! 11 meter !! band? I believe they are cheap and available through places like radio shaft.
