338 Marquesas Isl. (Pacific)

It has been a long time ago that I actually worked a new DXCC on 11m. I currently have 252 DXCC
worked and the higher that number the more exclusive are the DXCC to be worked. Today I had some time to try for 338AT/DX which is currently active from Marquesas Isl. I saw him spotted on cluster.dk but he was not audible before the greyline. Then suddenly his signal came in but I had a lot of QRM (PLC?) and he was just audible. With the help of some 11m friends I finally got him confirmed and he reported RS33. I hope to get his QSL, it would be a nice add for my DXCC QSL collection. I worked 51RC/DX on backscatter as well today. Not a new DXCC but a nice one to work as you don't hear Andorra every day.
