Well, I would have hoped that you had that instruction in writing, or at
least in front of witnesses.  Otherwise the station owner could easily have
pegged it on you. "Gee, Grant, the operator must have made a mistake!  Not
our fault!"  He still could have been fined, but you *might* have been
included in the bill.

One reason why I practice CYA on legal matters.
