Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
04 20 50 02
Bill Anders (LMP): Go, Houston.
04 20 50 05
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay, Bill. We're ready to try this music on a different kind of lash-up this time. What I'd like to do in order to make sure that we maintain voice COMM is when you get it if you would, give us a call and tell us you have the music and any comment about its relative volume or anything like that. And if I get your call, then I'll call you back and tell you. And what will happen is when I go to talk to you we'll drop the music link. And we can go ahead and take over the switching of the antennas if you like.
04 20 50 49
Bill Anders (LMP): okay. I'm in Bravo Dog switch configuration, and go ahead with the music. Be advised last time the fidelity was low, and the volume was too high.
04 20 51 02
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. And if you'll give us the same kind of comment, hopefully not the same comment but the same type of evaluation when you pick it up this time.
04 20 51 15
Bill Anders (LMP): Play it a little bit, and we'll talk about it.
04 20 51 54

04 20 52 15
Bill Anders (LMP): I can barely, barely hear it.
04 20 53 21
Bill Anders (LMP): Needs to be just a hair louder.
04 20 53 37
Bill Anders (LMP): That's good.
04 20 53 49
Bill Anders (LMP): That will keep me awake.
04 20 54 03
Bill Anders (LMP): Maybe you ought to crank it back down a little bit.
04 20 54 16
Bill Anders (LMP): Great.
04 20 54 52

04 20 54 53
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. How was that?
04 20 54 58
Bill Anders (LMP): That's real good for background level type, Ken. Maybe you can do some logging in here so that's real nice at that level; maybe for anything else it could be a little bit louder, but that's good for now.
04 20 55 10
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. That's about the MAX volume we can take down here; so if you want to talk to us, you may have to call us once or twice. You're just barely equaling it.
04 20 55 24
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. Try it again, and I'll give you a little louder call; I've been trying to keep it quiet.
04 20 55 30
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Oh, yes, that's all right. Don't—I was aware you were calling; I just didn't make out what you said. And from now on, any time you call, we'll drop the music, and I'll talk to you.
04 20 55 42
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger. Don't hesitate for me a bit.
04 20 55 46
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Right.
04 20 56 00
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): And, Bill, we're going to have to wait until we get around to Bravo before we start switching. Our margin is still a little bit low.
04 20 56 10
Bill Anders (LMP): Okay. I'll just go ahead and switch it and save you all that trouble.
04 20 56 14
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. Thank you. Our midnight DVA show's back on the air.
04 20 56 20
Bill Anders (LMP): Roger.

04 20 57 11
Bill Anders (LMP): Really great now.
04 21 14 57
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Check your yaw gimbal angle.
04 21 14 58
: (End music)
04 21 15 04
Bill Anders (LMP): You must have been reading my mind.
04 21 15 07
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): No, the DSKY's.
04 21 15 13
Bill Anders (LMP): Oh, okay.
04 21 15 21
Bill Anders (LMP): When you go to high gain, would you tell me?
04 21 15 46
Bill Anders (LMP): Houston, Apollo 8.
04 21 15 53
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Apollo 8.
04 21 15 56
Bill Anders (LMP): Ken, do you want me to use the high gain when we come around, or is the OMNI sufficient? It doesn't matter to me.
04 21 16 07
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. The OMNI is doing fine. I was just watching your middle gimbal angle there; it was getting a little far out.

Bill Anders (LMP): Oh, okay. I thought you—I was, too. I thought you said check the DSKY, and I thought you were talking about the high gain antenna.
04 21 16 23
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): No, I'm sorry. I was just watching your middle gimbal.
04 21 16 25
Bill Anders (LMP): Yes, this thing really slops around in deadband, but it's really nice flying otherwise.
04 21 16 40
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Glad to hear that.
04 21 16 47
Bill Anders (LMP): All I have used the while trip is pulse.
04 21 16 54
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): You just woke the doctor up. You said pulse, and he came alive. And he'd like to know if you did in fact, check out the BIOMED harness.
04 21 17 07
Bill Anders (LMP): Yes, I tightened down all the plugs and checked all the leads, and everything looked in order. And when the other fellows wake up, if you remind me, why, I'll give it a more thorough going over.
04 21 17 55
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay, Bill. It's been suggested that they would like to see you try switching the two leads, you know, a yellow and a blue one, and just go ahead and switch them, and they'll sacrifice their pneumogram because they'd rather have the EKG.
04 21 18 25
Bill Anders (LMP): Do they need it now, or can they wait until somebody else wakes up?
04 21 18 35
Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): I guess we can wait, Bill. Is that a hard thing to get to?
04 21 18 43
Bill Anders (LMP): You have to take your pants off and about everything else—stand by.
04 21 22 07
Bill Anders (LMP): How's that, Houston?

Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM): Okay. Stand by, Bill. We'll take a look at it.
