For the remote site problem, keep in mind that you can claim through
the OLC PDA interface on many mobile devices. If you have a SD logger,
and a mico SD card in an SD adapter, you can just take the micro SD
card from your logger to your phone to make a claim as long as you
have cell coverage, a web browser, and a data plan.


It's often hard enough to get a voice connection in huge portions of
the western US, let alone a reliable data link.

So, if one takes a long tow of more than 15km from airport A and
releases within 15km of airport B, can the flight then be claimed as
launching from B?

What if the glider and towplane do a touch & go at airport B? Yes,
I've done T&G on tow.
