Record height for a winch launch?

Curious what the highest sailplane launch from a winch has ever been for the longest cable. Michael My personal record is 3,400' in a T-21 at Feltwell back in the mid-1960s using a barrage balloon winch but that was kiting and we hung on until there was no cable left on the drum. There was a huge bow in the cable apparently. Best straight launch is about 2,300'.
