He is boosting his output thru a linear amp, and talking using what they call skip. He depends on the cloud cover to skip his signal off of to get great distances.

For all anyone knows, the radio operator may be employing legal power and the homeowner's Part 15 devices are poorly designed, allowing excessive ingress of RF energy...subsequent rectification and amplification of the superimposed AF energy.
