04 05 28 16
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Loud and clear.
04 05 29 11
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, how do you read? Apollo 8.
04 05 29 14

04 05 30 53
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
04 05 30 57
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
04 05 30 59
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. This range sequence is a phenomenon we get on down-voice backup; in this mode, the ranging and the voice share the same channels, so we have to periodically check and make sure that they are not interfering with each other. Over.
04 05 31 16
Frank Borman (CDR): Thank you. These flights are very educational.
