I live 5 miles (8km) north of the northern border of Ohare airport. Just west of Ohare is a large area of several square miles of low rise commercial and industrial buildings. There is a constant 24/7/365 assortment of weak signals around 13560 from that area. If I remember correctly they are there even on xmas and new years. If MRI's also use that freq there is a big hospital complex with an MRI in the basement about 3 miles west of me. I was in that MRI once back in 2009 (long story).
