As I understand the rules, the third party can give the station call as long 
as the license holder is controlling the emissions.  I've always taken that 
to mean that if, for example, the third party violates any rules, it's my 
job to stop the transmission in whatever way I deem necessary.  I've heard 
that this rule has been relaxed quite a bit with the increased use of 
VHF/UHF radios, but I'd be interested in an official interpretation.
