Abstract: In recent work, we have proven uniform decay bounds for solutions of the wave equation $Bo{x}_{g}phi=0$ on a Schwarzschild exterior, in particular, the uniform pointwise estimate $|phi|leC{v}_{+}^{-1}$, which holds throughout the domain of outer communications, where $v$ is an advanced Eddington-Finkelstein coordinate, $v_{+}=maxv,1$, and $C$ is a constant depending on a Sobolev norm of initial data. A crucial estimate in the proof required a decomposition into spherical harmonics. We here give an alternative proof of this estimate not requiring such a decomposition.
