Bob, what did you correct? If you upload the EXACT SAME LOG, just sign it
with a different location set within TQSL, then it should correct the
details of all those already confirmed contacts. I remember making a
'location error' on a grid trip once (might have been county, not grid) and
fixed it just as described. The only QSLs that might require some other type
of 'fix' beyond that is if the person has already turned in the QSL for VUCC
credit (as the incorrect grid) on an application. If you correct things
quickly, the likelihood of that is low.
To everyone who contacted me while I was roving in Capital Reef NP last
Thursday, 4/18... I seem to have fouled up my upload to LoTW, all the
entries are listed in grid DM58 instead of DM48. I tried to correct and
upload to LoTW again, but it seems that most of our contacts have
already been confirmed on LoTW. I will be happy to send any and all of
you a QSL card confirming our contact, unless someone can tell me how to
correct my mistake so you all can get a QSL out of LoTW.

I think any successful portable operator would highly recommend you ditch
the tripod and hold the antenna. It allows rapid and accurate polarity
matching and tracking and it?s really not so difficult.

I started with a tripod I bought at the local thrift store (Goodwill) for
$10. It was not suitable for camera work, but did just fine for satellite
work.
The tripod helped a lot when I used an HT and attempted to write everything
on a notepad.
It was like training wheels on a bicycle! While I was learning, it made all
the difference.
I noticed after some time -- and watching YouTube videos of satellite
operations -- that all the experienced operators did not use a tripod. They
held the antenna in their hand.
So, I thought I would try it.
Getting an inline audio recorder and a head set helped quite a bit. I have
heard that a foot switch is also quite helpful.
And, after not much time at all, I became quite comfortable using the Arrow
using only one hand. It is much, much better for matching axial rotation.
And, it gives you a feel for the satellite when you twist your wrist and
hear the difference in the audio signal -- in my case, it is now automatic,
like driving a car, to hand-orient the antenna while adjusting for Doppler
and glancing at the tracking software on the smartphone.
An improvement I would very much like to make is to modify the Arrow's boom
to be a LidStick, a la Mike W8LID's excellent idea:
https://twitter.com/w8lid/status/976267117183033346?lang=en
So, get a tripod but plan on using it only for a while. You will want to
switch to full manual after not much time. :)

I had a power outage a couple of days ago and I lost part of my "AMSAT
on HF" log. (You don't need to ask if I was keeping a backup.)
If you have had a 50th anniversary "AMSAT on HF" QSO with me, could you
please send me the info? It was most likely in the first half of April.
Thank you!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
There have already been a lot of good comments on the list on why handheld
antennas work a lot better if you can manage it, and I'm definitely in that
camp. My experience with my home station (an Elk on a tripod in the attic
with an azimuth-only TV rotator and a fixed elevation of about 18 degrees)
also corroborates this, as I find that mismatched elevation makes very
little difference, but mismatched polarization makes a huge difference.?
When I was confined to a fixed location, one trick that I've found helped is
to suspend the tip of the antenna to bear part of its weight. In my back
yard, I have strung up some horizontal (non-conductive) lines that are at
about the right height for me to hold the Arrow horizontal with my arm
extended and the tip of the antenna resting on the line, with line "hooked"
on the forward-most element. This saves a lot of fatigue on those long
portions of the pass when the elevation angle is low, provides added height
to reduce the workable elevation angle, and enables almost complete freedom
of rotation for polarization. I've used this approach with both the Elk and
the Arrow to good effect. It does require a little more practice and
attention with the Arrow due to the crossed geometry, but it was certainly
very workable. I have the lines strung out in three directions optimized for
different pass geometries, which was more useful for the Arrow than the Elk.
I don't use them much any more
since I got over my fear of being "outed" and started operating in full
view of the public.?
Operating completely pedestrian-portable is also very handy if you have to
move during the pass to clear obstructions or distance yourself from (audio)
noise sources. Operating writing-hand-free can be very doable, even without
VOX. I hold the antenna with one hand, and leave the other hand free for
tuning, logging in real time, pressing the earpiece PTT switch, and
occasionally holding an umbrella.?
