Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Okay. We're still looking for the S-band NORMAL mode ranging to RANGING.
01 06 07 12
Frank Borman (CDR): I guess we didn't hear that one. Going to RANGING.
01 06 07 14
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Roger.
01 06 07 16
Frank Borman (CDR): It's in RANGING now.
01 06 07 18
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Thank you.
01 06 07 39
Frank Borman (CDR): And—Houston, Apollo 8—what size antenna are you going to now?
01 06 07 54
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We're working through Ascension, a 30-footer. Over.
01 06 08 03
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay. We—our signal strength is … AGC is pretty low up here.
01 06 08 08
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand.

Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Requesting S-band OFF state to OFF. This should put us back in the normal configuration. Over.
01 06 10 32
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Over.
01 06 10 38
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.
01 06 10 39
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Okay. S-band OFF state to OFF. That returns us to normal configuration, and we need a couple or items from you. First, the CMP and LMP status report (including PRD readings on all three crewmembers), and we'd like to know did you chlorinate the water after your last meal. Over.
01 06 11 10
Frank Borman (CDR): No, we haven't chlorinated the water, yet. We'll get the other for you.
01 06 11 13
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Roger. Thank you.
01 06 11 14
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, do you show the FM—Houston, Apollo 8—do you show the FM on now?
01 06 11 22
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Stand by and we'll check it, Bill.
01 06 11 26
Bill Anders (LMP): Because our S-baud off state has been OFF. Possibly—we don't have control of it.
01 06 12 29
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We've switched on all the communications switch; functions are operating normally, Bill.
01 06 12 37
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay, Mike. Thanks.
01 06 12 43
Frank Borman (CDR): Mike, the PRD readings for the CDR are 4—that's 0.04, for the CMP is 0.64, and for the LMP is 0.25.
01 06 12 59
Mike Collins (CAPCOM): Good. I copy 0.04, 0.64, 0.25. Thank you.
01 06 13 06
Frank Borman (CDR): Roger.
01 06 22 25
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, this is Apollo 8.
01 06 22 33
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Apollo 8.
01 06 22 37
Frank Borman (CDR): Oh, hi, Ken. How are you doing?
01 06 22 39
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Roger. Fine. How you been?
01 06 22 41
Frank Borman (CDR): Is this Jerry?
01 06 22 42
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): This is Ken.
01 06 22 44
Frank Borman (CDR): Hey, listen, we still have this TV coming up here—let's see—31:20?
01 06 22 52
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Affirmative.
01 06 23 00
Frank Borman (CDR): We're about in the right position for high gain; we wondered if you wanted to take a trial run and see if it will work. Or do you just want to wait and try it when they're supposed to go on the air with it?
01 06 23 18
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. Stand by on that.
01 06 23 23
Frank Borman (CDR): Okay.
01 06 30 25
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, Apollo 8. Over.

Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Apollo 8.
01 06 30 33
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. Could you ask the GNC to give us an update on our prop quantity, please?
01 06 30 41
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Wilco. You're referring to the RCS?
01 06 30 46
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger.
01 06 30 53
Bill Anders (LMP): If you'll give it to me kinda slow, I'll plot it.
01 06 30 56
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Roger. It's coming now.
01 06 35 13
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
01 06 35 19
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.
01 06 35 20
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. In reference the early TV, we're losing the high-gain antenna now, and it looks like the only way we would have gotten the early TV pass in anyhow was to send it to remote site and look at it there. So we're going to scrub that idea and we'll just pick up with the scheduled TV. The COMM checks that are remaining are the high-gain dependent type, and we'll put those off until the TV session is completed, and we are working on the fuel propellant curve for you now.
01 06 35 53
Frank Borman (CDR): Thank you.
01 06 41 50
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
01 06 41 53
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead, Houston. Apollo 8.
01 06 41 54
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay, Apollo 8. What we're going to do on the TV is to go ahead and let you crank it up as soon as we get back on the high-gain antenna, and it looks like—my guess is that this will be about 31:07, and we'll just use this to—as long as we have the coverage there. I have an update to your TLI plus 35 PAD. Now we have to correct a couple of times on there. So when you get that out, let me know and I'll read it to you.
01 06 42 38
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
01 06 42 40
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. On the TLI plus 35 pass, the update I want to give you is the last three lines in the block: the EMS range to go 13084 35985 0984217. Over.
