[IRCA] philosophy of logging a new one

[Stan Horzepa <stanzepa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been chasing DX for almost 50 years.

In ham radio, when I exchange signal reports with a DX station, I enter 
the station in the log.

With one-way DX'ing (LW, MW, FM, TV, etc.), when I hear (or see) the 
call sign of the DX station, I enter the station in the log.

But what about all those LW and MW carriers I see reported here on 
almost a daily basis. Do you log them as new stations even though you 
can not positively identify them?

For example, last week I heard carriers on 549, 684, 693, 855 and 1215, 
but there was no discernible audio to help identify those stations. 1215 
was probably Absolute Radio, but do I log it as a new station?

What is the general philosophy about logging carriers?

FWIW, I have not logged them as new stations. Am I being too conservative?
