DWI - Ace of hearts - 10S☯ Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

den sure kalkun: There's a lot of factors leading to this, but I won't air them here (or anywhere, so please don't ask). I've been weighing things up very carefully for a few months, and this decision is final. If you have any comments to make, don't make them to me.

Geocache Description:

The following message is a Vigenere cipher. But before you copy and paste it into your favourite Vigenere-solving tool (if you even have one), there is a twist: I've not used the full alphabet. Some letters are not present in the code or the plaintext and are not accounted for when translating the letters. In other words, you have to do the Vigenere with a different alphabet.

To help you, I will tell you that if you don't see a letter in the cipher below you should disregard it completely. To further help you the text is quite long and I will tell you that the text is written in ordinary English.

To hinder you, I'm not telling you the keyword. That is the main task: use cryptanalytic techniques to decode the cipher text. Keep a note of the keyword, as it will prove useful in finding the cache.
