Hi Friends just wanted to let you know I took my tests tonight. Passed the Tech and the General. Missed the Extra by a few but then again I never studied for it either. :-)

Just sharing the good news

Congratulations!!

I think this is one of the best ham radio forums (subforum?) around. 

As your unsolicited, untrained, unauthorized, and likely unwelcome passerby, I hereby diagnose you with BRD Type II.

Congratulations!

So what's your first venture going to be? HF, VHF/UHF? Fixed? Mobile? Hand-held?

Well so far I have had a little Baofeng handheld that I listened on.

Thinking my first buy will be a Yaesu 2M radio but my Elmer may have different plans

I think he wants me to go straight to HF

Thanks for the love
Kid

He's right. HF is where all the fun stuff happens. You major expenditures will be in a transceiver, power supply, and possibly an antenna tuner. The antenna itself is very easy to make.

100 Watts and a dipole puts the world at your fingertips.

The KD2's in my area are the 'teeners' of ham radio. 

Congrats, enjoy another expensive hobby!  I'm not sure if I've spent more on guns, or ham radio gear.  Probably guns.
