I still don’t have my license, “patiently” waiting for the FCC. But I want to be ready!

I have a Retevis MA1 mobile transceiver and a power source to use it as my home station (for now). I need to get a good antenna for Technician permissions. I’m looking at either the JPC-7 HF Antenna, the JPC-12, or the JPC-350.

Recommendations? Or something different?

Thanks in advance Elmers!
