Mark,
When I was attending college in Stillwater, OK one of these bootleggers
was interfering with the HF operations of one of the other hams in the
W5YJ radio club. Nearest FCC office was in Tulsa. Suggestions discussed
included:
(1) Drive a straight pin into coax to short from braid to center
conductor
Collateral damage almost always includes the destruction of the
final
transistors. Finding the pin involves a TDR setup, usually beyond
the comprehension of the Good Buddy.
(2) (My favorite) Buy a couple of cheap 27MHz "toy" walkie talkies.
Buy the best battery you can afford.
Tie-wrap the PTT button in the XMIT position.
Toss it onto his roof.
The 100mW local signal a few feet under his antenna will de-sense
HIS
radio, and he will go QRT until he can fix his FlipFlop.
When Good Buddy returns to the air, repeat with second walkie
talkie.
Note: if Good Buddy finds HT on roof and discards in garbage,
retrieve
HT and repeat from "Buy the best battery..." step.
(3) Use high powered rifle to disable feed point of antenna
This is best done on New Year Eve, when you can use the excuse of
"celebratory discharge of firearms" when the sheriff comes calling.
Happy New Year, 10-4? (BANG!) dhl
