Default New winch height record

it could work to the south.. to launch to the south.. about 1/3 mile to the
power line..
to the north.. can't run the cable across the road
great idea though

Wouldn't it be possible to locate the winch outside the airfield's
boundary, and launch with a longer rope on a 600m runway?
Is this common practice at some glider sites?
