Hello!!

  I have just become interested in Ham Radio and I am presently
hard at work studying for my Novice written and 5 WPM code
tests.

  I also have been pondering what kind of HF rig I should start out 
with?  I have been reading and looking in the Ham Rags (73 and CQ) 
and the variety of equipment and models is quite perplexing.  I really 
don't want to spend much more than $700 to set up my "Shack."  What 
kind of rig/shack can I set up for this kind of money?  What kind of used 
rigs are out there?  What brands and models should I stay away from?  
Where can quality used rigs be found?  When are the next local HamFests 
scheduled? 

  Thanks
  
        - Warren
