Hi Peg,

If NA can export ADIF, that might be the better route to take.  Look at an ADIF
file (using notepad) and see if the STATE: field is there.

If not, I have a program which populates state/county information into an ADIF
file generated from certain state QSO parties.  Some of the contest logs use
non-standard fields to hold the state and/or section.  See:

    http://software.ad1c.us/#County

There's a link to a Windows version of the program somewhere there.

Now this program doesn't support random contests with just states or counties,
but (i.e. NAQP etc.) but it "might just work" by picking any state from the
drop-down box.  But if you send me a representative ADIF log, I'll add that
functionality, it should only take me a day or two.
