Get the General and start working the HF bands.  Once you get a taste of
working the hams from other countries, HF contesting or fast scan TV etc.
you will see the magic of the HF world.

These days 1.2, 2.4, 10GHz and up are where its at.. not to mention
AO40.. but 2m, 220 and 70cm are definately like that.. unless you hang
out on a cool repeater like N6NFI here in the Sillycon Valley.. Most of
us are young computer geeks and photographers..  Very fun place..

As for 20m, 40m and so on, since I don't have a General Ticket yet, I'm
just listening on those bands and to tell you the truth, most of it
sounds like the 2m, 220 and 70cm stuff, just in a different language! :)
