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.
