Congrats. I would dare say that moat of us started with a Baofeng. Just fo enjoy your new license and upgrade once you know more about what you want and can afford. Cheers, W5KDPI passed the test for my Technician license Saturday . I have to wait for the FCC to post my call sign before I can transmit, but I got it done!
I have a Baofeng uv5r to get started, I have a magnetic mount antenna and a car power cable. I know it's not ideal but it's a start.
I have a CB as well so I feel like I'm getting comm's sorted.
