Purchase what you can afford for use on bands you want to use. Chances are
you will get the most "bang for the buck" out of an HT as your
first rig. I went with a Kenwood TH-F6A as my first rig when I got my
ticket back in January. I've since added a couple dual band mobile rigs to
my equipment list. If I were buying an HT now, I'd probably go for the
new Yaesu.


I have been hamming for 48 years as of 1/23/04. I figure I have spent
well over $100,000. But, you can have just as much fun if you spend
$500 wisely and with your purpose in mind.

BTW John, are you any relation To General LeMay?
