Several potential noise sources. Switching power supplies running gear, and even in backup power systems. As was noted in another thread, much of the electronics is on top of the tower, mounted to the antennas. Data lines going to that stuff could be noisy unless they're fiber.

swings thru that azimuth there is switching noise that adds 5-10db
for about 25 degrees either side.
