Your problem may be due to unintentional interference - but if it's intentional, it's jamming.
When you say radio control tower, are you refering to the antenna on top of the OH building? The OH penthouse used to be the shack of an amateur radio club, but AFAIK it's been inactive for the past decade or so. And I doubt if the interference is coming from the AM/FM station or power station. Even so, your alarm would have to be operating very near the other radio frequencies for it to be swamped by a stronger signal.
On the other hand, do you suspect anybody in the ECE dept. to have a grudge on you? All that person needs to know is the frequency your alarm works on. A small board and a couple of hours is enough to make a jamming transmitter
Or maybe it's just a coincidence. You may have an intermittent remote button, but you can easily rule this out with a test.
BTW, some alarm systems can be disarmed by switching the ignition key once you open the door.
