Nice one Jimmy! You've passed at a great time in the sunspot cycle and will find activity on many bands and modes, almost whatever takes your fancy to have a go at first.
Have fun and keep checking in at CT. Everyday is a learning day for me and I learn lots from reading here. My tip of the day for you is; don't stick your fingers in your unboxed unun to pull out a clump of dog hair when you're transmitting a tuning carrier, even at only 5 watts power.. your finger will feel like what E.T.s looks like.

Jimmy, poles are nothing! My station Manager found out how much my HF radio cost when she checked the bank statement. It took her quite a while to recover, I am almost out of the doghouse months later.
Good DX'ing. Tony
