   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,
