   DP>recommend? Also, what kinds of HF rigs should I be on the lookout for? Both

   I wil leave the Rig recmeendations to others but depending ofn how much   
   room you have for a wire Dipole a Home built G5RV antenna is a good   
   starter. 102 Feet for the 80-10 meter design aor 51 Feet for the   
   shortened one for 20-10 meter use.   
   The downside is that they require an antenna tuner but there are several   
   inexpensive manual ones avialble.
