I wasn't really interested in a QSL from them. I did hear them on at least 5
bands, the lowest being 40 meters. I never did try 75/80 or 160. It sure was
nice to hear them on 40, spectacular.

As Glenn Hauser mentioned, it might be nice if they'd set up some sort of
rudimentary broadcast for SWL's so we might add another country to our totals.

You bring up an interesting point: Do ham DXpeditions QSL for SWL reports?

Not sure why they would need "some sort of rudimentary broadcast for
SWL's". The usual procedure for an SWL request to a ham is to give the
time, frequency and station he was in contact with. Been that way for
decades.

The policy might vary with each DXpedition -- but it never hurts to try.
Usually most expeditions have a web site and a QSL manager, so ask. If
you can copy them and the station they were working at the time, it
might be worth a shot.

It also wouldn't hurt to enclose a small donation with your QSL request.
(You may think this is "buying" your QSL -- but IMHO it is not. These
expeditions cost BIG money ($460,000 for Amsterdam) and they are still
in the hole).
