The greatest uplink ever

For someone who 40 years later frets about getting a clean fiber
signal from Toronto to Watertown in HD it is good to look back at the
greatest uplink challenge of them all which was getting live TV from
the moon in 1969

Heck 40 years ago AT&T has problems getting a signal from Waltham to
Goffstown, NH when it rained plus the direction of network feeds from
east to west and back all depended on a relay station in Iowa some 200
miles west of Chicago

A tip of the hat to the engineers 40 years ago who made this work as
well as it did
