Much depends on the class of the license you are running for.

My exact knowledge of the US license system is limited, but I think that
the NOVICE license will let you loose on some of the VHF/UHF bands, and
maybe CW (morse) activity on a couple of SW bands.

The activity allowed by your license, will limit your choice.


Have a nice day,
