is there a N1MM log for this? if so what's it called?

Yes, there is a UDC (user-defined contest) module for NAQCC. Go to n1mm.com, select Files > User Defined Contests (UDC), and on page 2 of 4 there is a file called NAQCC.udc . Download this file and put it in the UserDefinedContests folder in your N1MM Logger program folder, and the next time you start the Logger, NAQCC will show up in the list of contest types in the Contest Setup dialog.

Warning: N1MM Logger does not produce the idiosyncratic log format required by the NAQCC autologger. As stated in the SpecialInstructions line in the udc file, you will have to use a text editor or spreadsheet program to edit the log (Cabrillo or Generic format) into the format NAQCC uses.

Alternatively, you can just use the built-in ARCI contest type. It has the same basic exchange. It won't score the contest correctly, but that's not a major concern. In the process of doing the editing to get the special log format, you will basically recalculate the score anyway.
