A station's equipmentSourced
A satellite dish went
into an empty swimming pool.
In 1977, Arizona's KUAT-TV began building a satellite dish inside a vacant university swimming pool. The installation let the station receive PBS programming via satellite the following year.
The pool caught signals
instead of swimmers.
