Roger. Cislunar NAV accomplished. We did two sets on star 16, two sets on 22, and one set on 21.

Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Bill. The one that we updated an hour or so ago, (i.e., pitch 224, yaw 020) is a good one.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)

Apollo 8, Houston. We will change antennas in about 2 minutes. You can expect a glitch in your COMM.
-
Frank Borman (CDR)
-
Roger. We are dumping some water we collected here, and we are ready to dump the waste water down to 25 percent. Do you concur?
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We are getting geared up down here to do the first of the COMM checks. We will be doing an OMNI COMM check, which is on your flight plan, listed mode 7.8, and we will let you know when we are ready to proceed.

Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Well, did you get the intergalactic news summary we sent up to you a couple of hours ago? It might have been during your rest period. We gave you a couple of football scores. One of them in particular was—I don't know if you copied that—Army 21, Navy 14. Over.

Roger. The Cowboys were destroyed by the Cleveland Browns yesterday. The Pueblo crew is expected to be released. And I now hear our air-to-ground has got a lot of background noise. Stand by; we are going to go through these COMM test modes on page 223 of the flight plan. Over.

Houston, be advised that it looks like your Quindars are clipping your voice during your transmission.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Understand. Are we still experiencing this intermittent condition that was there a few minutes ago?
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. We understand you are copying us. While we are trying to reestablish contact with you, would you put your optics switch to zero? We show you are drifting off in trunnion and request that you zero your optics.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. We copy your optics zeroed, and how are you reading us now? Over.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. We are down to 25 percent on your waste water dump and ready to terminate. Over.

Roger, Our next COMM test is ranging only test. I have four switches I would like you to throw, which will cause you to lose voice communications for approximately 3 minutes. Over.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Alright. The first one is S-band NORMAL mode voice, OFF; the second, S-band NORMAL mode PCM, OFF; the third, S-band NORMAL mode RANGING switch to RANGING; and fourth, the S-baud AUX tape switch, OFF. Over.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. Request S-band NORMAL mode RANGING to OFF and S-band NORMAL mode PCM to PCM. I say again. S-band NORMAL mode RANGING, OFF; S-band NORMAL mode PCM to PCM.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. Three communication switch positions. First, S-band AUX tape to DOWN-VOICE BACKUP; S-band NORMAL mode PCM, OFF; TELEMETRY INPUTS PCM, HIGH. I say again, S-band AUX tape to DOWN-VOICE BACKUP; S-band NORMAL mode PCM to OFF; TELEMETRY INPUTS PCM to HIGH.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8. Houston. Unable to copy. After about a minute of this configuration, we're going to return to normal voice, and at that time we should be able to hear you better.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 8, Houston. Three switch positions. TELEMETRY INPUTS PCM switch to LOW; S-band NORMAL mode VOICE to VOICE; S-band NORMAL mode PCM to PCM. I say again, TELEMETRY INPUTS PCM switch, LOW; S-band NORMAL mode VOICE to VOICE; S-band NORMAL mode PCM to PCM. Over.
-
Mike Collins (CAPCOM)

Apollo 8, Houston. Requesting S-band NORMAL mode ranging to RANGING. I say again. S-band NORMAL mode ranging to RANGE. Over.
