Alternately, I could google R/C flying clubs in the city in Florida I'm going to and find out the same thing just by looking at the club's website. Quick and easy, no needing to make phone calls or jumping through any of the other hoops you seem to deem necessary. And for the record, I do have a security clearance and know how the "need to know" works. If a club is so afraid of someone finding out they have a waiver that lets people fly over 400 feet, they can just lock the doors and shut down since I don't see the need to go to that club if they are that secretive. I have better ways to spend my time and money than to have to beg for information before going to a club that doesn't want me there to begin with.
