The other review of this episode hit the nail on the head: a brilliant template for the series. Cliff Robertson plays the single-minded radio station technician who contacts a being from another galaxy. He discovers the Galaxy Being and himself share traits such as intense curiosity and a willingness to take huge risks. When he's forced by his wife to step away from his experiment for a time, Alan (Robertson) tells a fill-in disc jockey not to increase transmitter power. He neglects to tell him the reason for this request. Of course the DJ takes this as a challenge and, once Alan is gone, turns the power dial all the way to maximum. The Being from another world is then instantly transported to Earth and all hell breaks loose. Besides his appearance, the thing that made the biggest impression on my ten-year old mind when this was originally broadcast in 1963, was the alien's assertion that "...electromagnetic radiation, infinity, God...all the same".
