I wasn't really interested in a QSL from them. I did hear them on at least 5

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.


Because, what they do as amateur radio operators does not count as a 'broadcast
station'.

You are mistaken.

As usual.
