7. On a personal note
When my father worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development and was headquartered in Rosslyn, Virginia they gave him several extra days off every summer - their antennas & associated receivers plus computers in his building would overwhelm the air conditioning and shut down power in the entire building. As I recall, the building was near the Cuban Mission (they didn't have an Embassy) and that was the reason they had snooping equipment outside of Fort Meyers.
