I honestly can't understand why you feel it is no problem that these vintage, antique, sport and ultralight aircraft don't have access to the airport at Oshkosh, year round.
If they can allow no radio access during busy Airventure, why not a similar procedure for year round?
Sure, a bit of common sense is needed, such as keeping the sport planes separated (much as they mandate in the NOTAM). Just keep the same procedure all year.
Arlington has multiple intersecting runways with extra parallel grass strips for airplanes and another strip just for gliders.
Pilots seem to manage without a tower.
