You're going to count this as your own?

Yep. It was made using my own callsigns, which is perfectly legal
here. I know there have been some debates about the validity or
'ethicality' of this kind of contacts, but I personally feel it's
absolutely OK. It also conforms to DXCC rules, which say:

,----[ Section I. Basic Rules ]----------------------------------
| Contacts may be made from other stations provided they are

`----------------------------------------------------------------

You left this part out:

"Contacts made from club stations using a club callsign may not be
used for credit to an individual's DXCC."

Your rules appear to be different but in the US the call sign is
assigned to the "station", not the individual and the station call is
what should be used.

Still the club can "loan" the station to an individual and that individual
can operate using their own call sign. It's basically a matter of club
policy whether or not you may use your own call sign on the club station.

amusing we find ourselves in agreement
