FWIW, Randy, I have received QSLs properly filled out for 1530 and 1611, so
I'd try again with a follow-up on your 1611. I can't give you a name or
title because neither of thoese earlier cards was signed. I think they
forwarded my recent showrtwave letter to one of the program people because I
gave such detailed info about their Africa program.

Absolute insanity... and it gives me the feeling that nobody currently
running/working for Vatican Radio has a clue about DXing, reception
reports, QSLing, etc.--or cares any longer. This sounds very much like
what you experienced with Danmarks Radio (i.e. clearing out their stock of
QSL cards just to get rid of them)--albeit on a more epic scale. But at
least you GOT a reply! Back in 1995 after my one and only reception of
Vatican-1611, I sent a nice taped report... and a follow-up... and another
follow-up... and never heard word one from them.

Yes, this is one for the books!
I requested a QSL by e-mail from Radio Vaticana for a reception of the
Madagascar relay. In today's mail I got a stack of 26 QSLs, and a nice
note from Father Moses Hamungole thanking me from my report.
Unfortunately not even one of the 26 QSLs was actually filled out. This
has got to be a record of some kind for QSLing futility - 26 QSLs in one
package, but not one counts!
I've had as many as four blanks arrive in one letter from a station (Radio
Denmark when it was clearing out of English broasdcasting), but 26 is
beyond crazy.
24 of those QSL cards are a picture of Ratzinger, not a guy shown much
devotion in this Proterstant household!
