The QSO may be legal, but it can't be submitted for DXCC credit. The 
"buddy" is in Guam or Okinawa and these are different DXCC entities than 
W/K and legally, he can't just use a W/K call there.

If the "buddy" is in California and uses your call to snag a rare one 
for you (and I'm sure this happens more often than people like to 
admit), it would be legal, but it would be cheating, wouldn't it?
