I don't see how having somebody "stop by" is clearly defined.  Rule 
2.2.1 states "not physically located at the station".  Rule 2.2 talks 
about transmitting, receiving, logging and adjustments.  A friend who 
stops by and tells you that 10M is open to EU, or VY1JA is on 21035 is 
not transmitting, receiving, logging or adjusting, and he's at your 
site.  How is that clear in the rules?  Is it in the spirit of the 
rules?  Not in my opinion - but definitely not clear in the rules.

2.2.1.Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements involving 
other individuals,
DX-alerting nets, packet, etc) not physically located at the station is 
permitted.

Having somebody "stop by" and give you information that you later USE, is 
clearly defined.
There is nothing about your intent, nothing about solicitation, only something 
about USE
of SPOTTING ASSISTANCE.
