Good grief. Whose idea was it to use a UHF television channel for radio astronomy? Every TV set with a UHF tuner can receive channel 37. There are other bands where frequencies could be reserved for this purpose. .... Oh well. The UHF TV spectrum is chopped up all to pieces anyway since the DTV transition, with only a handful of channels left for use by NTSC television stations in this country, so I guess the channel 37 issue may be a very moot point nowadays.
