As radio systems gradually migrate from analogue to digital technology, more and more unusual commercial and non-commercial signals can be heard on the VHF & UHF radio bands.
Lewis M3HHY in Manchester has a very popular YouTube channel where he puts up well scripted and presented videos about a wide range of radio related subjects. He recently put up two videos about some of the digital radio signals that can be heard on the VHF & UHF bands.

Ah! TETRA! How much public outrage there was about that when rolled out first. Mind you, sticking them up at or near schools was always a bad idea. Everyone's gone over to protesting about 5G now.
