Penstock has (had(?)) TOKO 455KHz ceramic filters, but their minimum
order is fairly high (around $25 if I recall rightly).  They come in
several bandwidths, with the narrowest one being a good match for SSB.
Moderately narrow bandwidth, but not a *whole* lot of attenuation
(approx 30 db) and 7 db insertion loss.

Penstock is in most professional RF trade rags - email if you need the
address / phone #.

No need, the PC motherboard is rated for operation to +14, the power

Don't know about the antenna. 

As for mounting it: definitely go for a punch (such as Greenlee) if at all
possible.  Buying one is a LOT more expensive than your antenna, though!
I managed to borrow one, which was wonderful.  Failing that, unless the
hole is quite small, go for a hole saw.  Drills produce 3-sided holes when
drilling in sheet metal.

Sealing: I used a Larsen permanent mount (for NMO, 3/4 inch hole).  It comes
with an O-ring, and I just used that.  Never a problem.  If you have a smooth
surface and a mount that comes with O-ring seals (and the O-ring is in good
shape; replace it if in doubt) then that should suffice.  If not, then 
silicone is probably the way to go.  In that case, I wouldn't use wax, since
I wouldn't trust silicone to stick to it.  Instead, remove any wax, grease,
etc.  (When I want to make REALLY sure things are clean, I start with alcohol,
then switch to acetone, or if really paranoid use xylol or laquer thinner
(i.e., toluene -- not to be confused with paint thinner) in between.  Don't
use it on a large area, since it may take the shine off the paint, but
there definitely will NOT be any crud left after you do this...)

You wouldn't even have needed a good memory.  The first number is 
usually the filament/heater voltage.  Rectifers usually come with a 
W,Y or Z middle letter (35W4, 5Y3, 5Z4 and so on).  The last number 
usually denotes the number of elements in the valve.  Much more
fun than modern stuff like the CK722, eh? :-)

(Wasn't the OA4 also known as the VR105 or the VR150?)

Several people sent me responses to the 0Z4 question.  I don't know of
*every* place where these might have been used, but I saw them in automobile
radios of 1940's and early 1950's vintage.  It was a full-wave rectifier
tube with no filament or heater.  It contained a gas of unspecified
composition which broke down (ionized) to provide the conduction mechanism.
The internal structure of the tube assured that the breakdown voltage in the
undesired direction was much higher than in the desired direction of current
flow.

Responses I received included:

a)  It was also used in backpack-sized portable equipment.

    No doubt true.

b)  It glowed a nice purple.

    It probably did, but the only ones I saw had metal envelopes.

c)  Scarce as hen's teeth nowadays.

    Without doubt this is true.

d)  Was it a "magic eye" indicator?

    I know what you're talking about, but nope it wasn't.

e)  Was it a voltage regulator tube?

    It wasn't used as such, that I know of.  But it probably could be used
    like one, although the manufacturers didn't spec the exact breakdown
    voltage, so you'd be relying on an unspecified parameter.

f)  I know about this, but I'm not an old-timer.

    You start to feel like an old-timer when some of your co-workers
    weren't even born when you were first hired on.

But we do, Jim.  How about:

Restricted housing developments built by builders who haven't
the slightest clue what amateur radio is, but they know the
places will sell if they include all sorts of convenants 
designed to improve "aesthetics";

Consumer electronic manufacturers that refuse to build in decent
RFI protection 'cuz it hurts the bottom line;

Commercial interests that see gold in them thar ham freqs;

and so on.

What do all of the above have in common?  Yep, you guessed it:
money!  They've got it and we don't.  What's worse, the average
ham doesn't even care about these threats until they directly
threaten his interests.  What's that, you say?  Maybe we should
have a national organization to combat these threats?  Hmm...
sounds good to me...

The FCC uses several methods for relating digital modes to bandwidth.
Traditionally they have relied on standard encodings with standard
speeds given in WPM and standard FSK shifts. With the rise of other
digital encodings, they started talking about "baud rates" in the
rules. For example HF packet is limited to 300 baud. Now that's not
too satisfactory given that modulation methods other than FSK have
appeared. Now bits per second and baud may not mean the same thing
as modulation methods have been developed to encode more than one
bit per baud, QPSK is an example. So the FCC got down to where the
rubber meets the road and said that occupied bandwidth is the only
important criteria from a rules standpoint and started specifying
maximum bandwidth and letting you fill that with any encoding you
like. Unfortunately, they didn't delete the older rules at the same
time so now we have a confusing mismash of conflicting rules on
what and what isn't legal.

There's also confusion between bit encodings at the machine level,
Baudot, ASCII, EBDIC, etc, and bit encodings at the modem level,
FSK, PSK, QPSK, MSK, etc. Because the FCC didn't seem to have a
really good grasp of the fundamentals involved, their early rules
are anachronisms. This is an area of the rules that needs revisiting.

The NEC2 data are right in the RF Design article (except for a pretty obvious
typo in one of the command names on one of the cards).  All you'd need to
do is increase the number of segments per wire to something reasonable, since
obviously it's not going to give valid results with one-segment wires.

You'll also need SOMNEC if you want to use the Sommerfeld ground analysis,
as the RF Design writeup did.

Ahem! :-)  LaserWriter is an Apple trademark used on laser-*printers*
that we sell.  

I took a look at my license (issued Jan 1992 upon a change of address)

Actually, I'd doubt that the FCC has a 3800. Kok's right about it being a
