Greetings!

If I were you I would consider buying a used HF radio. My first HF
radio was a
Icom IC-730. I got it for $100 as the cosmetics were not good but the
radio works
flawlessly. It is not general coverage but is great for the HF
bands. At $200 I have seen
HF radios with general coverage for sale. If you are getting your
ticket anyway why not just
get a good used rig you can use after you upgrade to a General? Have
a great weekend! Jon.



Also, I need a radio that's pretty sensitive. I'm waaaay out in the
boonies, the CO Rockies at 8K ft. No problem putting up some sorta
rudimentary outside antenna (dipole, etc). Any help appreciated while
I'm still learning all this new stuff. ;)
