But, Yuri, isn't your 'multiplier' equally or possibly more culpable?  After
all, he could have said "no".  Then again, what if he needed the station who
asked him to move as a mult on that band or bands?  What if it had been your
'multiplier' who asked the station to move?  What then?

Where are his rights?
