Yes, I've experienced the same thing. Not just from 'DX' stations, there are plenty of them here that do the same thing. I don't log casual contacts, but do record the ones that expect a QSL. I have to think that the majority of QSLs I've gotten are legitimate, but, certainly not all of them. There can be a number of reasons for that that are as 'inocent' as can be. In general, if I didn't put it in the log then don't expect a card, sorry.

Ever gotten a QSL from -years- back, I mean a lot of years? If I can find the log and if they're in it, I'll send a card. But I don't keep logs for ever, and if it's more than just a couple of years back, sorry...
