Michael,

Good advice. Remember to contact the potential offender off-list.

For illegal power, there is not much you can do unless, as you say, you 
are in the shack watching it. For bad operating you can diplomatically 
mention to the offender that your heard someone using their call and 
using very poor operating techniques (specifics supplied) and that you 
figured that they would want to know about it. This avoids the direct 
accusation by giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it does send the 
message that the observed behavior( regardless of the perpetrator) is 
totally unacceptable. I think any person with a conscience will 
eventually get the message that they need to clean up their act. For a 
person with no conscience, you can hope they find another hobby.
