Hi Ken and All,
I just did a quick scan through the programs. While I think IARU HF is an option, when you transfer your QSOs to AC Log, you are going to have a lot of unwanted values in the zone field.
Please take a look at the RAC software. It will dupe check both modes (since this is a SSB / CW event) and will not invade your zone fields with bad data on transfer:
Seriously, please take a good look and see if this program:
Will support these contest rules:
Please let me know what you think.

Thanks for the great information! That might work, as no Cabrillo file is required. Scores are just entered on 3830.
Thanks for thinking outside the box! :)

I have an interesting idea, use the program for the IARU HF
contest. The exchange for the IARU HF contest is RST and ITU zone. I
tested and the the N3FJP program will accept various numbers between
1952 and 2020 for ITU zone, those numbers are the years of the
Hamvention. You can ignore the score since there are no multipliers.
Just a crazy idea, I wonder if the Cabrillo file would be acceptable. What does everybody think about this? Ken WB2KWC On 3/30/2020 06:24, Scott Davis via

Hi Mitch,
Thanks for your
e-mail. I would love to write a program for the Hamvention
QSO Party, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.
With over 100 individually customized logging programs that
I am supporting already, along with all the daily e-mail
questions, I have to be sure to only add programs to the
package that will continue to be widely used beyond one
year.
Please see this link
for more details here:
I'm sorry that I didn't
have the answer that you were hoping for.
That said, your score
is just the number of QSOs, so you could log your contact
activity in AC Log.
Enjoy!
