Mission accomplished. Customer is back on line. I have a hard time understanding how this would be a "pecuniary interest" situation, as neither operator was receiving money for the call and this is not a common occurrence. It might be in a gray area, however I also had another gray area to deal with - the 110 miles of blizzard condition driving that would have been necessary to make 30 seconds worth of changes to his CPE radio. Certainly can't be a whole lot at stake for five minutes of airtime.
