Richard:

Good job hunting down the offender.
Give him a fair trial, then hang him by his power cord.

One word to the wise...
You should not run the PreAmp higher than you need it.
On 20 Meters in a city, probably at 0, in a quiet location perhaps +10.
It won't damage anything, but you are using up your dynamic range for no
reason.
