yep at 3 miles cable stretch just from the cables own weight on itself makes it nearly impossible. Many moons ago I logged wells in the oilfield at about a mile and the cable stretch for a 1” cable was ridiculous with only some electronic tools at the end.
I rescind my comment...I’m misremembering it wasn’t 1 mile it was 26kft...I know it was 20 years ago, but how could I forget that?
