As one of those 25 you worked, I can say the new multiplier credit 
you gave me during the last hour of the contest was also "very enjoyable" here.

You have found your own error - you didn't use some external source 
to provide information about the QSOs that you didn't already have. 
You should edit your submission to make it correct and re-submit it.

patleeper... is the address I sent mine to this morning, but have not 
received any kind of acknowledgement yet.

Thanks again for the QSO.
