Dustin,

What bands do you want to work?   How much do you want to spend?   Do 
you have a problem going used?  How much accessibility do you want (or 
need)?


I'm sure you will get a lot of suggestions, but if you let the group 
know what direction you want to go in the hobby, you will get more 
helpful info.

73, good luck, Steve KW3A
