Congratulations Frank.

First, until you pass the general class theory exam you are going to be
limited to CW only and only in the general class sections of the bands
on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters. On 10 meters you also get voice privi's
from 28,300-28,500.

Second, while you're waiting for the K3 to arrive get cracking on the
general theory test. When you pass that you get all the HF bands and modes.

Here's a link to the ARRL Ham Bands chart.

Good luck.
