How does your friend know you came on a new run freq?
There's some behaviour that follows the pattern of cheerleading and some
that follows the pattern of cheating.
A friend finding you on her own and spotting you occasionally is not
cheating. That is cheerleading.
A friend who you told on text/Facebook/WhatsApp/chat room etc that you are
on a new run freq or need a boost and then proceeds to spot you repeatedly
is you cheating.
The latter happens more often than we would like to admit, with some
stations even publicly announcing their run freq on social media! I try to
tell them it's not allowed (I feel the word "cheating" makes me a wannabe
cop) and sometimes they take down the post. Some ask me where I am I say I
can't tell them.
