Jim (EKM), et al:
You missed the key element of this...namely spotting "your friend" MULTIPLE
TIMES.
Nobody gives a hoot if you spot your friend. But if you are pumping out
his/her callsign, well that is not spotting, that is FEEDING your friend's call
and you are helping his score.
Finally, for the commenters who state "only if counts as points" are being a
bit geocentric. Think about other parts of the world where folks can a mile
apart but in different countries or even different continents.
This is not a difficult concept. Random spotting is fine. If you are spotting
your buds/friends multiple times, it is not fine.
