A couple of comments:

#1. 30m is a shared allocation, just because we hear some obviously
non-amateur activity doesn't mean we have priority. In fact, we
may be compelled to avoid interference in some cases.

#2. Numbers stations. You're almost certainly better off not messing
with them in any way. I've spoken to people that have DFed them to the
source, and I doubt any of us would be keen to repeat the experience
these folks had.

As long as they're an annoyance, it is really no big deal ;-)
