 There are only two possible in-flight signals initiated by the tow

 I learned these in about lesson two of my training and have remembered 
 them ever since . * I teach these to my students and they seem to have 
 no trouble remembering. *It's not hard. 
 
 To me, a visual signal is a far better form of communication than a 
 radio braodcast. 
 
 The visual signal is quick, simple, to the point, obvious, etc.... 
 
 Somebody already stated the possible "possible problems with relying 
 on radio"...there are many.... 
 
 The low tech solution wins out by far!

The low tech solution is not "winning by far"-it's a blatant failure 
and why we are talking about this. 
 
It's great how things should be clear and should work. Except they are 
not and don't and people are being repeatedly killed by the same 
problem.
