My first attempt and was expecting to be 'offered' QTCs but not one dx 
station did so - all mine were solicited by myself and that seemed to be 
the usual modus operandii from what I could hear. Not all seemed willing 
(as cf to able) to give them - I heard one US station reply 'NEVER!!' 
(my interpretation...) to a request. I noted the call and avoided asking 
that station myself in future.

194 Qs and 165 (claimed) QTCs. Wasn't going to rely on my (lack of..) 
typing skills so copied to paper using the pdf forms supplied on the 
DARC web site. I too saw the suggestion of recording QTCs but to me that 
would destroy the main reason for taking part; might as well stick to 
Morserunner.

I think I concur with Les G3VQO about the rules on QTC points -
"Every QTC that was correctly transferred, counts one point for the 
sender and one point for the receiver."
I presume both logs are needed to confirm 'correct transfer'
