[CQ-Contest] Room Reservation info for Dayton 2015 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Dayton

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Sure, Tim.  I wasn't complaining, just pointing out that there would be 
no difference in price if you discovered, as I did, that the 
"form-under-the-door" process had worked after all, and therefore no 
advantage to be gained by joining the scrum tomorrow, piling up 
duplicate reservations and depriving some folks of the opportunity to 
get a CP room.
