Louis Gary and John,
Thanks for your words of wisdom. Your responses have helped put me on the right
track. Now if I can only get over drilling holes in the chassis…
Below is a link to a photo of where I think it fits but my next question is if
it’s too close to the filament choke:

If it’s current location is ok it will only require drilling one additional
hole. Next task will be mounting the W7RY QSK board which I believe I have a
place for.
