QSO with 4L0A: Typical QSO with a station that does not give his call. CN2R clearly is not assisted and needs the call of the other station. 4L0A runs spot based pileup. Asking for the call is more than justified. I am amazed how people do not send their call for several minutes desite having many, many QSOs. QSO with HC8A: Helping CN3A just hurts CN2R score. CN2R looses time when helping CN3A get a new conuntry. I am sure this action is not against any rules. CN3A cannot send in an unassisted log, though. Summary: to me CN2R operation sounds good if not excellent.
