                I worked for RCA Service Company of Arizona (and at its
sister television
                station, KVIA) in Yuma, Arizona from 1959 to 1963. During my
time there I
                watched in awe all of the first transcontinental Telstar
television
                broadcasts, each only about 20 minues long, from Bell
Telephone's facilities
                in Andover, MA to Goonhilly Downs in England and back
(Telstar was a very low
                earth-orbiting satellite and twenty minutes was stretching
the time
                available).

TELSTAR !!!  now that was a great tune !!!

YUMA !  nice place to be from :)   Great terratorial Prison. My brother had
to 'break in' to see it.  (he climbed over the walls because it was closed)
  This was back in 1963-64 time frame.
