Radio interferometry at 89 GHz with transcontinental baselines can probe the region of active galaxies and quasars where collimation of relativistic outflows occur on length scales of 1017–18 cm. Three experiments have been conducted recently to demonstrate the feasability and importance of this investigation. Highlights of the three pioneering experiments are discussed below. Results obtained for the luminous sources 3C84, 3C273 and 3C345 are then summarized.
