How about your garage?  I have two new Chamberlain Garage Door openers that have cheap Chinese switching supplies in them that use the wires to the switch at the people door and the wires to the sensors at the bottom of the roll up doors as antenna. Despite toroids and bypass caps they wipe out 160m.   When I know we are in for the evening I power them off at the circuit breaker panel.
