Laci, HA0NAR  was operating as FW0NAR on 30M from the “Kingdom of Uvea” on  Wallis Island when I heard him very weak, actually barely audible –  as can be heard from the recording.

This is an all time new country for me, I don´t recall ever hearing a station from Wallis & Futuna before.

I used my JA Rhombic to blast through the pileup (at the start of the recording) and a DX PIG shows up at the end of the recording by tuning up on the DX frequency.   The recording is in stereo, with both sides of the split operation.  I can not imagine a lesser antenna making this QSO possible.   Here is another look at the DX PIG.

Centuries ago, cannibalism was the norm in these parts and I have met people from Polynesia who would pinch my arms and sides to check if I was fit to eat – I believe I was approved    Foreigners are commonly referred to as ´long pigs´.
