Highland AL and an experimental Baofeng UV5RC

[Highlander]

Two things that your last post throws up,... remember that a large antenna will draw attention.,... you don't necessary need a large one, best is not necessarily the biggest,... and don't worry about the trees, you need to learn about frequencies to overcome that small problem

I suggest you buy the book ` foundation license now`, its written to get people through their first amateur license,..and its written as simple, and as easy to understand as possible,....and is cheap too
