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.
