Apollo 8, Houston. Over.

I read you loud and clear; my COMM here must have come unconnected.

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?

Roger. Pitch and roll is in PTC.

Roger.

Apollo 8, Houston. Set up OMNI Charlie. Over.

Roger. OMNI Charlie.

Apollo 8, Houston. We're showing yaw 54.5. Over.

Roger. It's been deadband right around there the whole time.

You can take command P00, also, if you want to. You might have to use it again.

Apollo 8, Houston. Say again.

Apollo 8, Apollo 8, Houston. Say again.

You can take over command P00; you might have to use it again.

Apollo 8, this is Houston.

Go ahead.

Switch to OMNI Bravo, and we'll try the Bravo-Delta switching again. Over.

You blew it.

We're on OMNI E now, Houston.

Roger, Bill.

Looks like B couldn't quite hack it; I'll put it back there in a minute.

Roger.

Houston, if your EECOM's need any more help, just tell them to give me a call.

We're going on OMNI Bravo now, Houston.
