I think a little leniency should be granted when someone uses the wrong
VFO.  I've done it when operating the graveyard shifts in a contest and
with very little sleep in the early morning hours couldn't figure out why
the EU 40 meter SSB station on 7046 listening on 7222 wasn't answering me
when I called. He didn't respond till I switched to the correct VFO!  So
at least when I finally worked him, I was legal.
