TIL my neighbor's weird radio interference lines up with a local cell tower test

My garage door opener started glitching every Tuesday at 3 PM for about six weeks, right when they were testing that new 5G tower over on Elm Street. The timing was too perfect to ignore... Has anyone else had tech act up near new infrastructure like that?

Ever notice how old baby monitors pick up random chatter? Mine used to get bits of someone's cordless phone calls.

Remember those old walkie talkie style monitors? My buddy swore his turned into a late night trucker channel one week. He'd hear static, then a guy complaining about his load to some warehouse in Ohio, full conversations about bad coffee and rest stops. His kid would be sound asleep but he'd be listening to some stranger's road trip drama at 2 AM.

Wait your buddy was listening to actual truckers on his kids baby monitor? Thats wild. Ive heard of monitors picking up interference before but not full on conversations about bad coffee and rest stops. Did he ever try talking back to them? I bet he couldve asked for a weather update or something. Thats like a free CB radio but without having to buy one.
