Who says you can't submit log without a claimed score? For most contests
that field is optional.
But as a long time user of Log-EQF and WIN-EQF I simply export the file from
MMTTY as an ADIF file then import it into WIN-EQF which I have set up for CQ
WPX and it does the scoring.
If you have a logging program which accepts ADIF imports you can do it that
way. If you don't have it then you can download a shareware version of
either Log EQF or Win EQF (not sure if the shareware version has the import
utility on it tho).
Write Log is the accepted standard for RTTY contesting so you can buy that
and use MMTTY with it.
