Okay. We will do that. When you get in the PTC attitude, we will let you know when we take the command on the antenna switching.

Okay. Just be careful what you do with the tape recorder. Bill's a little sensitive about that.

Roger. We were listening to the tape dumps, and it looks like Bill gets a happy new year after all.

Ken, we've about run out of gas here on this next set of stars. Would you ask your people to be especially alert there watching the systems tonight?
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. I have—let's see, we've got a hydrogen purge line here that ought to come on about 91:40 and an oxygen-hydrogen fuel cell purge for 92 hours.
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
I sure will. And, let's see, we just wanted to let you know we've got a real good battery charge going here this time. Looks like—it looks just like the ones in the book, and I'd like to get a battery C voltage before you shut down, and a sleep report on what you did in —

We all only got about 2 hours sleep today MAX, Ken. We're going now—Bill's going to stay up awhile, and Jim and I are going to sack out, and we're going to try to rotate short sleep cycles till we can get back to the normal one.

I hope it won't disappoint anybody too much if we knock off those last two stars, but Jim is just in a daze, and so am I.

Apollo 8. One of the things we'd like to have before you shut down also is VERB 64 so we can watch the pointing angles.

Hey, Frank, you might be interested; they are having some trouble with the medics' P-2.
- Frank Borman (CDR)

Hey, Ken, tell the people if you see anything getting close to the gimbal lock to be sure and whistle, too, will you?
- Ken Mattingly (CAPCOM)
-
We sure will, Frank. You will want to make sure one of you keeps your COMM carrier on.
