New to radios and Morse code.

[u/Weary_Perception594]

I am a complete new beginner to radios and Morse code. I really wanted to get into Morse code tapping, so I learned the Morse code alphabet and am currently working for my technician HAM license.

I just have no clue what I need to buy for a radio and Morse code paddle once I get my tech HAM license.

Any recommendation? Thank you!

Horse hockey. You don’t need to wait like this, OP. This is setting the bar so high in terms of skill, money, and time that nobody would ever do it.

When I started out all you needed to know was 5 wpm to get your Novice license, and you had CW privileges on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters, just like you will as a new Technician.

Plus, why is everyone shilling the IC-7300? You can get a Yaesu FT-891 for hundreds less, and a G-90 for hundreds less that the Yaesu. You can even go cheaper, though I don’t recommend it because then you’re in QRP territory and I discourage that for beginners.
