CONGRATULATIONS BILL,  I GOT THE 5U ON 80CW BUT NOT THE TU7.  MISSED BOTH ON 160M, DID MANAGE TO GET VP6 PITCAIRN ON 160M GLAD TO HAVE THAT ONE.  I USED MY HEX-BEAM AS A RECEIVE ANT AND THE INVERTED VEE FOR TRANSMIT.  VERY BAD ANTENNA SYSTEM HERE.  HEX-BEAM AT 18FT AND VEE AT 25 TO 30FT ENDS ABOUT 6FT OFF GOUND.  GOOD LUCK WITH THE 160M SO FAR HAVE GOT ABOUT 4 NEW ONES THIS YEAR THAT BAND.  STILL NEED ABOUT 58 MORE FOR 100.  HOPE TO GET ANOTHER ONE OR TWO BEFORE CYCLE ENDS FOR SUMMER HI. LIKE YOU I NEED TO GET  SOME GOOD RECEIVE ANTENNAS AND MY TRAMSMIT UP HIGHER.
GOOD LUCK  73

I worked Niger hard during the dxpedition, worked them on 10 band/mode combos including 80CW (0203Z) and 160CW (0346Z).   The 160 contact was very hard here as I don't have a good setup for low frequency work.  Seemed to me a very good operation.  I really need help on my low freq receiving antenna.  I got lucky and also worked TU7C on 160 that same night (It was my birthday).
