New winch height record
In my corner of the soaring world, we have lots of 1 mile by 1 mile
fields (section lines) so the diagonals area bit under 7500 ft. Still might be good for an almost 4000 ft launch. Any friendly farmers out there?

Rent a 100' wide swath in the middle of a field.

OK, Rent a 200' wide strip and ask the farmer to plant soybeans or alfalfa.
