No, this is not allowed, all calculation and analysis must be in your head. Even writing down your move on your scoresheet before you play it is considered suspicious, although I don't know the current USCF stance- you can always google the rules.

at least in FIDE it is illegal, I don't know with USCF but I cannot imagine they would allow it because it is a good thing about OTB chess that you have to use your brain to think 100%
12.3 a. During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information or advice, or analyse on another chessboard.

We played and you played white! I lost my connection and lost 1.5 minutes. I came back and played good but time made me slip. You ran after your win. A win you recieved on a blunder based on a bad connection. It just shows that you are a pussy! You couldn't rematch after winning one luck. That my friend makes you a grade a pussy!

It's always nice to see folks making new friends. That's really what chess should be about, isn't it?

I've always considered myself more of a hand. A hand that can be used for slapping dumbasses such as yourself.
Do the USCF rules allow players to take detailed notes during OTB tournament games? For example, what if I want to write down complex lines and analyze them — while I'm sitting at the board?
