On a more serious note there are advantages to hand holding the Arrow even
if it feels like you need to be an octopus to pull it off. There's a certain
hand ear coordination that seems to come naturally when matching polarity by
simply twisting your wrist. This advantage alone can be significant over
fixed polarity or polarity matching by some mechanical means. The only time
I would recommend a tripod is if there is some physical reason for not being
able to hold it.

Often times people go the tripod route because it seems like too many things
are going on at once. One common pitfall is trying to log while a pass is in
progress, usually on paper. A better solution is to record the audio for
playback later. A simple voice recorder or even a smartphone works great. If
using a voice recorder be sure to set the clock to UTC, timestamps will make
logging a lot easier.

Another way to free up a hand is to use a boom mic headset with a foot
switch for PTT. By doing this you free up your hand to operate the VFO(s).

Like Bryan pointed out, it can seem counterintuitive that holding the
antenna can make things easier but when you evaluate the rest of your
station you may find other ways to free yourself to aim.

If you find that there's just simply no way to operate without a tripod then
maybe you can describe the difficulties you face. I've seen many clever
designs, each with their own advantages and disadvantages making them each
suitable to a different crowd. Let us know what you're looking to get out of
a tripod setup, I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to share their
solutions.

Greetings,


This is a little off-subject but might be of interest to some.  I just found
out about these stamps by accident.


The Total Eclipse of the Sun stamp is the first U.S. stamp to use
thermochromic ink, which reacts to the heat of your touch. Placing your
finger over the black disc on the stamp causes the ink to change from black
to clear to reveal an underlying image of the moon. The image reverts back
to the black disc once it cools.



These stamps are really cool and I think may be a collectors item.  They are
forever stamps and cost the standard 49 cents.  There is also a special
sleeve available for 25 cents.  Hopefully everyone has clear weather for the
eclipse - in just one week!

I use LOGIC 9 and it uploads the downlink frequency.  I enter both
uplink and downlink frequencies into the logging program LOCIC 9.  I
receive lots of matches and that seems to be the accepted convention.  I
know ARRL suggests uploading the uplink frequency in their
documentation.  LOGIC 9 does not follow that recommendation and from my
experience most other sat operators are not either.

YMMV

The convention in logging split band or mode QSOs is to use what band or
mode you're transmitting on.

That said, LoTW doesn't care about the frequencies if the propagation mode
is set to 'SAT'

My experience with LOTW and SAT QSO's is the frequency does matter.  I
have had to fool my logging program to upload the uplink frequency to
get a match on a rare occasion.  N5JB's guide to LOTW and satellite
QSO's says 7 items must match to get a satellite verification in LOTW.
Only 5 items need to match for a non-satellite QSO.

I'm not entirely convinced of that. I have at least a dozen QSLs in LOTW
that have no frequency for both the up and downlink. However, as we all
know, LOTW does have some "undocumented features". Maybe there's some corner
case where it does matter but I haven't ran into it yet.

have had to fool my logging program to upload the uplink frequency to get a

items must match to get a satellite verification in LOTW.  Only 5 items need
to match for a non-satellite QSO.

I've had a few match even though I accidentally uploaded a "20m" SAT qso
because my logger autofilled the band field incorrectly lol.

In the few cases I couldn't get a match because of some unknown hiccup in
LOTW, I have just changed the qso time by a minute or two (so lotw
recognized it as a different qso record), reuploaded and got a match.

Most of the satellite lotw info I've read online has mentioned several adif
fields that don't seem to make a difference. In my experience, only the
callsign,gh SAT mode, satellite name, time, and mode (FM, SSB etc) have to
match. Ymmv.

have had to fool my logging program to upload the uplink frequency to get a
match on a rare occasion.  N5JB's guide to LOTW and satellite QSO's says 7
items must match to get a satellite verification in LOTW.  Only 5 items need
to match for a non-satellite QSO.
