Interesting this. It reminds me of when my dad used to work at NATS /CAA (uk air traffic body). I remember him getting complaints in the early 90s that people’s car locking systems failed to work on the car park next to the radar tower at Gatwick. Turned out the radar (or the huge electrical field created by the motors in the radar) created havoc. If I remember right it ended up being a question on the back page of the new scientist..
