Happy birthday!
It may be that you can do as I would in N1MM. It is possible to simply type
the call and press Enter. When I was doing the N3A special event station a
year ago, I forwarded my ADIF file to the guy who organized the activity,
and he consolidated the ADIF's from the various contributors. Are you sure
you're supposed to send your file directly to ARRL? I hope to do a little
W1AW/3 when Maryland's turn comes up in late June or August.

Subject: A C Log Question
Hi, everyone.
As many of you know, I have signed up to represent Michigan in the W1AW/8
ARRL Centennial QSO Party on Saturdaay: February 22. I will be running
40-meter SSB from 4 to 6 p.m. Eastern time on that day.
I now need to begin seriously working on logging for the event, and think it
makes the most sense to go with the N3FJP AC log software, since I already
have that program. The software also readily converts your log file into
ADIF format, which the league requires.
My first step will be to download and install the latest version of A C Log,
which I hope to do yet today.
I have been spending a lot of time e-mailing back and forth with various
other Michigan participants, and they all recommend making the logging
process as simple as possible so that you have the fewest amount of data
entry fields to tab through in the log. This really makes sense, since I
will need to use Jaws or the N3FJP wave files to tell me where I am.
For their records, the League will require call, date, time, band, and mode
for each contact. All of these data fields exist in A C Log, and are
accessed via the tab key.
But, I really will only need to enter the calls of the stations I work as
new information for each contact, once my frequency set-up for split
operation is established.
Is there a way to hide data fields, so I don't have to tab through all of
the fields in the software unnecessarily?
I'm sure the answer is buried somewhere in the program documentation, but
perhaps someone here knows the answer already.
