Excellent WD: I think your on the right track Young Jedi
Now as to adding a second rig...settle in a little with your one HF rig and get it going, you can add an inexpensive Handheld for 2 meters and 440 band( better known as a Dual-Band HT) for like $50 or less nowadays. These will give you the ability to check in your area for local activity and go from there to see where your interest may fall, plus give you a window to other near by hams.
While you await your study material for General...here's some additional material you can look at in regards to the most important part of your station.
