CT can't do the distance calculation - but this is not a problem. We
are going to recalculate the points for all logs using a common yardstick
anyway. The thing CT can do for you is to log the contest and generate
n ASCII log for you to submit.

I am sorry you feel this might be the case. First off, both NA and
TR support this contest - not just one. Secondly, there was plenty
of time for CT to add this contest - but there isn't much energy
being expended on updating CT. Please don't hold that against us
and please don't use the lack of support of CT as an excuse for not
coming up with new contest! The creation of this contest was done
by consenus and not driven by any one individual. It is a great
idea and hopefully it will live on or be adopted by one of the
existing 160 meter contests.
