How do you support the ends of your antenna?

I will suggest an antenna for HF (80 thru 6 meters). I have the
Buckmaster OCF Dipole. There are several models covering from 160 thru
6 meters, both low and high power. They are high quality, designed to
last many years, so are higher price than others.
If you decide to run more than 100 watts, I recommend an RF choke at
both ends of the feed line. I run up to 1500 watts and have good
results with the Palomar Engineers Maxi-Choker MC-1-3000.

Congratulations. Stick with a major brand. Yaesu. Kenwood. Icom
Alinco eleckraft Buy used for a while and then gradually sell up.
There are great major radios available for 300$ Range. When you get
your feet wet, then you’ll know what you like.
Add in a Signalink for digital.
Add in a mfj or other tuner.
Antenna is the most important piece. Continually perfect them
starting with dipoles.
The fun begins. 😀
