How much did you spend on that stuff mate? You may have got memed.

That antenna is only for receiving btw, if you want to get a transceiver you'll need something else, you'll also need an ATU and a power supply.

What's your budget? New, best bet is something like a Yaesu FT-450D which is £500. Used you can get an old one for maybe £250 but you kind of have to know your stuff with the old ones as they can have a bit of 'personality' and issues. For example I originally bought an FT 102 off ebay, arrived, plugged it in, *pop*. Basically in transit it must have been knocked around because the valves in it were fucked and in the end the seller kindly refunded me as it wasn't worth buying new valves for it.
