Subject: Pietenpol-List: NORDO into OSHI do believe to be NORDO you need to call the tower from an airport where you are30 minutes from Wittman Field so calling from Brodhead for a NORDO clearancewouldn't work. To be 30 minutes (or whatever the real number is in the NOTAM)from Wittman Field you have to be at Fon Du Lac with a strong tailwind in a Pietenpol:))))NORDO can sometimes work to your advantage if you want to land on a different runwaythat whatever the tower is assigning at OSH. It seems over the years theyliketo use the E-W runways for the radio approaches (wind permitting) and the N-S forthe NORDO guys like we did 10 years ago when they use 36 and the 36 taxiwayas a parallel36R/18L. If the wind is howling out of the south and they are landing tower airplanesto the east and NORDO's to the south.....I'm going in NORDO !
