03 20 57 30
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. How do you read?
03 20 57 36
Bill Anders (LMP): I read you loud and clear; my COMM here must have come unconnected.
03 20 57 42
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Bill. We lost data on you for 15 minutes and voice COMM for about 45 and were beginning to get a little itchy. Is your PTC set up for rate command attitude hold?
03 20 58 05
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. Pitch and roll is in PTC.
03 20 58 09
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.

03 20 59 26
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We're showing yaw 54.5. Over.
03 20 59 41
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. It's been deadband right around there the whole time.
03 21 00 38
Bill Anders (LMP): You can take command P00, also, if you want to. You might have to use it again.
03 21 00 44

03 21 06 39
Bill Anders (LMP): Go ahead.
03 21 06 40
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Switch to OMNI Bravo, and we'll try the Bravo-Delta switching again. Over.
03 21 06 53
Bill Anders (LMP): You got it.
03 21 20 58
Bill Anders (LMP): You blew it.
03 21 22 00
Bill Anders (LMP): We're on OMNI E now, Houston.
03 21 22 03
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Bill.
03 21 22 09
Bill Anders (LMP): Looks like B couldn't quite hack it; I'll put it back there in a minute.
03 21 22 12
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 21 22 18
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, if your EECOM's need any more help, just tell them to give me a call.
03 21 22 23
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 21 30 57
Bill Anders (LMP): We're going on OMNI Bravo now, Houston.
03 21 31 05
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Say again.
03 21 31 11
Bill Anders (LMP): OMNI Bravo.
03 21 31 12
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. OMNI Bravo.
03 21 32 58
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Looks like we're getting pretty far off in both pitch and yaw. Showing about 50 degrees in pitch; and about 25 in yaw.
03 21 33 13
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. I get that.
03 22 13 05
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. All systems looking good. Over.
03 22 13 15
Bill Anders (LMP): Apollo 8. Roger.
03 22 53 20
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
03 22 54 10
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Over.
03 22 54 16
Bill Anders (LMP): Go ahead, Houston.
03 22 54 18
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, this is Houston. Your systems are all looking good. Got a flight plan update for you: at time 96, you can delete P52. Your drift rates are real small.
03 22 54 36
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. And I'd like to do the chlorination at about 95:30 if I could.
03 22 54 43
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand; chlorination: 95:30. Okay?
03 22 55 41
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, we're on OMNI C and going to Bravo now—correction, Dog.
03 22 55 50
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand; going Delta.
03 22 55 59
Bill Anders (LMP): We're on Charlie now.
03 22 56 03
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Understand you're on Charlie. Break. Verify your UP TLM switch at COMMAND RESET is at NORMAL. Over.
03 22 56 16
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. It's in NORMAL. I've had the COMMAND RESET since we broke lock there, and I have to get back and control the OMNI's, so why don't you go command it over to Dog. Then give it back, and I'll set the other one on Bravo.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 22 56 56
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. We have you on Delta; you can go to Bravo. Break. Give us a call when you've finished your chlorination. Over.
03 22 57 06
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. Everybody seems to be stirring around now, so we'll probably do it on time.
03 22 57 11
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Okay.
03 22 59 26
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, and the other two space aces are up now, and LMP's going to hit the pad and like to take a Seconal prior.

03 22 59 44

03 22 59 51
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Looks like you need about 3 more hours on that battery A charging. Over.
03 23 00 00
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. Well, my cohorts can handle it.
03 23 00 04
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
03 23 00 34
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Can we get a crew status report on Bill before he goes to sleep?

03 23 00 55
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
