    Getting started/making first contact

    CONGRAT"S on getting your ticket!! First thing I want to tell you is everyone had to start from the beginning at one point, so don't worry about how you sound or making mistakes...find your local repeaters and start some conversations and LET them know you are a fresh ham, most will jump right...

    Linear

    Well i have ran ALOT of different amps and it sounds to me like you arent talking on SSB or on any Ham bands...i would just go with a Davemade 1x3...it already comes in a decent size cabinet and has a Fan to keep those finals cool! My 2 cent and others will differ!!

    FINALLY DECIDED ON A NEW RIG!!!

    The kenwood ts 2000 is a nice rig and priced very well...after all was said and done i went with the yaesu FTDX5000 with was only $5400 (without all the adds)....the icom was such a nice rig but after playing with the 5000 and the 7700 (not the 7800 witch is $9000) it came down to a preference!!
