not even any special QSL

I find this normal these days and believe it depends on who is in charge of the event.  If it is an older ham then cards and certificates are in the mail.  At the other end of the scale that group is not into cards etc.  Younger hams have the 4K likes/followers attitude while the older groups like the cards etc as physical prof of contact made.  I find the same problem now in chasing HF DX as no cards are ever sent but you are told check LOTW.

Yes I am at the older edge of the hobby and still send cards to those special/most contacts and events.  When I get a card in the mail I take some time and enjoy the card and reflect on the contact before it goes on the wall.  I guess I am just old fashioned ......
