Most hams are gracious enough to try and lend a helping hand and give out
multipliers , if possible.
I have asked stations in the past to QSY and make up to four band changes.
More then 90% of them time most are quite enthusiastic about doing so. Many
who do not do say just say they are just doing a single band effort or do
not have the antennas, and in less then 5 seconds it is resolved. No hard
feelings.
If someone feels offended because they are merely asked if can give out a
new multiplier to someone on a new band, then perhaps they should ask
themselves what they are doing in a hobby that deals with "communications."

So, Rob - if I would ask you really politely (on CW) :
"DR ROB CAN U QSY TO xx MHZ NOW PSE WE NEED U ON xx"?
Would it be polite enough for you?
Just curious.
