I don't know Chris, Class D,F is looking real good.  I'm getting tired
of the heat and humidity.  I was drenched by noon and the contest
hadn't even began yet.

I'm a member of two clubs and operated with CLARC.

The Houston ECHO Society, W5ECO, http://w5eco.org/ is now operating
from the Red Cross building, as a class F station.  In addition to an
AIR CONDITIONED com room, they have real restrooms, a break room with
snack bar and if they want to take a nap they go across the hall to
the AIR CONDITIONED conference room.

CLARC, K5HOU/NU5M, http://clarc.org is now operating from the Sylvan
Rodriguez Park near Ellington Field near NASA. Good location, concrete
floor with a roof, but no AIR CONDITIONING.

Yeah I'm becoming a wimp in my old age.  Can we do FD in December or
January, just once?

YMMV.
