Don,

Looking forward to seeing you  this weekend.  I've been playing in the 
NYQP for the past few years since they raised it back from the dead. 
It is becoming a very popular contest.

I don't know anything about QRZ, LoTW or any of that stuff, so I will 
leave it to others.

You should use the N3FJP NYQP  program for this  event,  instead of the 
general contact logger.

I don't use that software, so others will have to  help with particulars 
  on it.

After the contest, you will submit your log to the contest sponsers by 
e-mail.   They want the file in cabrillo format, which you will find as 
an option somewhere in the N3FJP software.

If you decide not to submit your log, other stations can still  get 
points for working you.   It won't hurt anybody if you don't submit.

Last of all, check the web page for the contest, it may answer some of 
the questions you  have:
nyqp.org

73 and hope to work you this  Saturday, Steve KW3A
