To quote George Costanza's mom, "May I ask why?"
Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

So, by "why", I assume you mean sending emails in German to me. Four years ago, I sent the German service a reception report because I could identify all the songs in a music program - I presume they kept the email address on file and send out updates.  They do extend unsolicited Holiday Greetings annually:
