If you're not sure of the other station's call, why would the other station
have reason to think s/he had worked you?  Why would you give the other station
reason to believe that the QSO was complete when you obviously did not have
all of the information?

You should only log actual, real two-way QSOs, not almost, sort-a, maybe QSOs.
