Thanks to all for the suggestions, offers, and info.
I have some thinking to do.
Hopefully, I can convince the wife to support my future decision.

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.

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. 😀
