Good questions, Eliacim,
Yes, transponders are supposed to be "off" or "standby." With all those
airplanes approaching Oshkosh with reduced separation, the ATC system
would be saturated with transponder conflict alerts, driving the
controllers crazy.
I will provide everyone in the Ercoupe Caravan with VAC signs and also
special signs allowing us to park in the Type Club Parking area. I've
printed up 50 of each.
I've also printed 50 abbreviated NOTAMs, leaving out the warbird,
ultralight, and rotocraft information. I will hand all of these things
out to those who are flying in the Caravan.
Be sure to bring your own tie-downs.

I have been studying the 32 page (!!) Oshkosh NOTAM.
Two questions:
1. Are the transponders really supposed to be off? (standby) Why?
2. What sign is Syd's Ercoupe group displaying on arrival? VAC?
