Okay, 13; Houston. The booster says that the propulsive dump is concluded; he now has the nonpropulsive vents open and what you see is a normal phenomenon and it should go on for another 5 minutes or so.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, while I've got you, 13, at your convenience, we'd like to have the results of the EMS bias tests that you did pre-TLI and pre-SEP.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Joe. The TLI—the DELTA-V no bias test prior to TLI, we had a 0.8, and post-TLI, it was 1.0.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jack. Copy that. Thank you very much. Incidentally, as your tracking gets better and better, the size of MCC-2 is getting lower and lower and figures to be somewhere between 20 and 30 feet per second now.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. We have a PTC REFSMMAT ready, if you're ready to go P00 and ACCEPT, we'll stick it in there.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Apollo 13, Houston. We'll have a handover in half a minute or so. You may get a momentary loss of strength.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. I just got all hooked up to get in my COMM system here, and I just wanted to check out. I've got my suit stowed, a few other odds and ends done, and I'm back in business again.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Good deal. We're kind of hanging loose down here. I've got a lift-off plus 15 pad. There's no hurry to read it up, so let us know when you're ready.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Jim. Lift-off plus 15 pad: GETI 015:00, DELTA-VT 5622, longitude minus 165, and GET 400K 047:04. Over.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay, Houston. Lift-off plus 15: GETI 015:00, 5622, minus 165, 047:04. Is that correct?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. We'd like to have the ATTITUDE SET switch back to GDC, if you're finished with your aline. It gives GNC down here a telemetry problem.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Would you please verify or tell us what S-band antenna configuration you're in, please?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Stand by a minute, Jim. Our signal strength is getting a little low. We may have a recommendation.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Stand by. We're in AUTO TRACK, Joe, and HIGH GAIN.

That's affirmative, Jack. We followed you through the whole thing. You're ahead of schedule.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. Because we're standing by. We want to do a fuel cell purge and a waste water dump.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Roger, Houston. What we're going to do is, we're going to get rid of Fred's suit here. Fred's suit has been right in the commander's slot here for the last half hour. So we're going to try and get it stowed.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
We'll be handing over from Hawaii to Goldstone in a few seconds. You may get a temporary loss of COMM.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
No, I didn't see staging. It was too hazy for that, but we could see it for a few miles anyway.
- Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Roger. We're at that stage now where we're going to take some Earth weather photography. If you're standing by, I have the camera aimed at the Earth right now, and I'll give you a mark when I take this first picture.
- Vance Brand (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, copy.

Okay. Disable quads A and B, will do; and soon as Jack gets finished thrashing around, we'll be going to that PTC mode.
