[CQ-Contest] If you're booked at Dayton Doubletree-Downtown for 2012...

[N1MM]

If you go for the "stay 2 nights, get the third free" offer, your 3 day 
total will be $207.89.

I was unable to book a non-smoking room online, so I called and had the 
reservation desk do it.  Start with the internet, because it is an 
internet special.

73,
Tom - N1MM
7th day without electricity in Connecticut.
