   Hello everybody!

With the new year starting I've finally decided to do something that I've been 
wanting to do since High School (Which, by the way, was quite a long time ago). 
I'm looking for recommendations for basic HAM gear to get started with. I don't 
have my license yet but I am very technically oriented and have extensive 
Electricity and Electronics training from the Navy. I want to start would with 
a good receiver and then progress to a good transceiver once I get my license. 
I like older equipment and I am not too worried about price.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what would be good to start with?

BTW, I live in Rural West Virginia so I don't have any local swap fests or 
anything and the one club thats close to me is unreachable (Thier website is 
broken and I can not submit a contact there) so it looks like I'll need to 
stick with mail ordering.

Steven
