There is NO Tech Plus test. Only Tech, General and Extra.

Hmmmm. How about "Technicians with HF" (term is from the ARRL
website)? I was trying to say that I was also taking the code test
portion also.

There is no Tech with HF. You need a General Class.

Hmmmmm, the FCC
(
http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/ama...atorclass.html)says
"A Technician Class licensee who also has passed a 5 words-per-minute
(wpm) telegraphy examination receives privileges in four long distance
shortwave bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz) (Refer to Section 97.301)"
Is this incorrect or outdated? As I said before this is all new to me!

There was a change. FCC dropped Tech Plus for new licensees. You will need
to take the General for HF. At present that requires 5 wpm.
I would recommend the K2 by electocraft (?). Get the basic 5 watt kit.
Then upgrade with additional components later. All reviews say it is a good
choice.
