I have only been using my fixed elevation terrestrial yagis but I am going to rig up a simple way of elevating them using just a piece of rope attached to the boom. I am also in the process of making a hand-held antenna but the current weather is not the best for running round the yard pointing a yagi at the sky - the neighbors already think I am

My questions are:
1. How accurate does the elevation have to be? It will be difficult to continuously change it throughout the pass using my rope method. Would setting it at the average elevation for the pass be OK?
2. JAS-2 Downlink is 435.8 to 435.9 MHz and the uplink is 145.9 to 146.0 MHz. If I hear a station calling, say, on 435.6 what uplink frequency would I use?
3. JAS-2 Downlink is USB. Is the uplink USB or LSB?
I am a complete newbie at satellite ops so please be easy with the jargon
