04 05 03 35

04 05 03 52
Jim Lovell (CMP): Right.
04 05 03 54

Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
04 05 17 34
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Frank, we are going to establish a range sequence now. We would like to keep silence on the net for about 3 minutes. Over.
04 05 17 44
Frank Borman (CDR): Very well.
04 05 21 21

Frank Borman (CDR): Hello, Houston. Apollo 8. How do you read?
04 05 28 16
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Loud and clear.
04 05 29 11
Frank Borman (CDR): Houston, how do you read? Apollo 8.
04 05 29 14
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Loud and clear by me.
04 05 29 19
Frank Borman (CDR): I wasn't reading you for a while. I read you loud and clear now.
04 05 29 22
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger, Frank.
04 05 29 28
Frank Borman (CDR): I wanted to know what a range sequence test was, Jerry.
04 05 29 35
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): I was afraid you was going to ask that. Stand by.
04 05 30 53
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston.
04 05 30 57
Frank Borman (CDR): Go ahead.
04 05 30 59
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. This range sequence is a phenomenon we get on down-voice backup; in this mode, the ranging and the voice share the same channels, so we have to periodically check and make sure that they are not interfering with each other. Over.
04 05 31 16
Frank Borman (CDR): Thank you. These flights are very educational.
