1.seal up a talkie on 1 watt with a gellcell wrapped in dark green plastic with a wire antenna and chuck it into his bushes or in tree as close to his antenna as you can get it. Lock the transmit on the freq. he uses the most.
He can scream all he wants,but he won't hear anything!

During a warm air temp inversion it is possible to talk for hundreds of miles on vhf and even uhf. Warm evenings then cooling down enough at night to create fog in the morning is an ideal time for this to happen.

My neighbor had a black one like that until someone tied fishing line between his antenna and his flag pole! I'm thinking he had an issue with TVI and his neighbor,lol!
