MQH DID HE KNOW OR NO

Relative to the recent 'phone Sprint operation from K6XO's home 
station, Steve Harrison, KO0U, writes:

In Alan's case, as I understood the posting, the guest operator used the
operator's callsign, not the station owner's callsign.

In these circumstances, Steve, is it your belief that if I invite someone 
to operate my station using his callsign, I am, in the eyes of the FCC and
each contest sponsor, just as responsible for the operator's actions as I
would be if my own callsign were to be used?

If that is your belief, what provisions of Part 97 or the rules of
the various contests (or, for that matter, specific decisions of "the
courts"), support your view?

Assume using two radios and the second is an old '520 or Swan or some such,
and the main rig is all solid state.  One positive keying and one negative
keying.

Any suggestions as to how to switch the computer or keyer output?  Is there
some sort of "universal" keying arrangement short of using a reed relay?
Is a reed relay a good idea, or are they too slow?

Financially challenged contesters with old radios want to know......
