The story is about an someone who is scanning the encyclopedia and sending the images to an object in synchronous orbit. At the end, he aims the scanner at himself and transmits himself to that object (which is probably his space ship).
The fun part of this ending is that this episode was written/aired in 1957, 9 years before Star Trek aired and made the Transporter (which allowed people to be sent and retrieved from a Planet's Surface) a TV troupe.
The actual story's plot, which involves detecting the signals put out by a TV to see which channel it is tuned to, is based on Pre-Tempest technology but seems to be similar to what Tempest is intended combat. I think that in the UK, they had (have?) similar vans that are used to detect the existence of TV Sets to make sure that the owner is paying their TV tax.
