Thank you Carl:

"Clueless in Tucson..." which made me think he is a local.

   OK.

   Since 30 meters in not a IARU band, countries can only authorize its use 
within it's own country, 
radiation outside of one's country is interference to services outside of the 
amateur service.
So use by DX stations surprises me.  from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_meters
30 meter band plan  IARU Region 1
License class   10.100-10.140   10.140-10.150           
SSB may be used during emergencies involving the immediate safety of life and 
property and only by 
stations actually involved in the handling of emergency traffic.

The band segment 10.120 to 10.140 may only be used for SSB transmissions in the 
area of Africa south 
of the equator during local daylight hours.

   What good is getting that 3dB gain from his TL-922 going to do him?
  (while burning an extra 400 Watts during key down)

   I am much amazed and impressed!
