1 - Cancel the K3, buy K1. You do not need a K3 at this stage.
2 - Erect a simple doublet to cover the 4 bands.
3 - Make some contacts and decide then which band you like, based on
experience gained.
I have always had an interest in photography, but if I were starting out
now I would not buy a top of the range Nikon. Likewise if I had just
taken my driving test I would not expect to buy a Maseratti, Ferrari,
Bentley etc.

I got my Technician license in February and I am learning CW. I have
built a dipole and ordered a K3. What advice do you guys have for
initial band use and getting feet wet in the Ham Universe? Thanks!
