The problem exists when a knowing vs an unknowing - I would not have an exact
idea what most Pacific islands have as frequency allocations but they vary all
over the shop...I do know that YJ - Vanuatu does not extend 40M beyond 7.100
but I have heard several expeditions operating above that limit..Mainly because
I found out the hard way when I operated as YJ0AX :-)
That said if you are operating within the limits of your licence in the
unknowing event made a contact with a KH6 that was out of band - why does the
grief fall back on you ?
My original post concerned a blantant assistance between operator to another
operator certainly well beyond an accidental frequency transmission..

Amen!
More than a dozen times during the WPX state-side stations called me when I
was CQing well below 14150. Other than the previously mentioned ethical and
moral issues I didn't see why I should provide a multiplier for a relatively
rare prefix to someone who was exercising an unfair advantage over his
fellow state-side competitors.
My approach is to politely say the offending out band callsign, suggest
they are out of the band and follow with a QRZ dx!
