[CQ-Contest] Room Reservations for Dayton 2020 at the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Dayton

[Win Kriegl DK9IP/KH7CD]

Hi all,

thanks for all replies and suggestions. The hotel was not booked out that fast but I wanted to make reservation until monday (which was accepted) but the code is valid only until sunday.

73, Win DK9IP
