A couple things...

Outgoing contact reports DO appear in your radio logs. They appear in a second section at the bottom, under the incoming messages. Click them and in the data you sent BdU you can even see what numerical course the convoy you just reported is on. Sweet!

I've reported many convoys where I haven't seen all the ships. I thought you had to go to the nav screen and zoom out a couple layers. If the convoy appears as the convoy symbol (the large square) then you can report it in. That's always been my rule of thumb anyways.

I could be wrong on this, but I think some of it has to do with the efficiency of your radio operator as well. I.e. more efficent operators actually send the reports out.
