Default Hobbico Freq. Checker

I've been pondering the cause of a mystery crash last Saturday. I have a little Hobbico scanner that lights up if a channel receives a signal. I fly on channel 24. I the past I have noticed hits on ch. 23. Today I found hits on 22 and 25. This area only has three of us who fly and none of us were flying this morning. Is it possible there could be some broad band interference in this area of 72 MHz? The instructions say the range with antenna is 300'. I assume this means another RC transmitter. It seems a much stronger signal from far away could register as a channel in use also. Would any signal strong enough to light up the LED be strong enough to shoot down a model?
