Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Over.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Hey, Jim, I have about three things. First thing, the computer is yours again. The second thing, no PTC maneuvering will be required from now until burn, so you can just sit in the burn attitude. And the third thing is we'd like to back out of this procedure we just put you into to updata link, which would mean going from TM bit rate HI back to LO, RANGING to OFF, VOICE to DOWN VOICE, PRIMARY POWER AMPL to CLOSE.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

We have a PROGRAM ALARM, Vance. 1106.

Fred Haise (LMP)

— that high bit rate.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, that apparently was just my putting the UPDATA LINK switch OFF that set that bit.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Roger. We concur on that. And I'll read this back to you a little more slowly, Fred.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, are you ready to copy?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. TM bit rate to LO; RANGING to OFF, VOICE to DOWN VOICE, PRIMARY POWER AMPL to off—that's on panel 16—and—or OPEN—and circuit breaker 11 UPDATA LINK to CLOSE—or to OPEN. Over.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay, Vance, how do you read on DOWN VOICE BACKUP now?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay, Fred, reading you loud and clear now.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Okay. I've got the POWER AMPL off, DOWN VOICE BACKUP, PCM to LO bit rate, and the UPDATA LINK breaker on 11 is pulled.

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Okay. On this last readback, we'd just like to verify that the PRIMARY POWER AMPL was pulled opened. Over.

Fred Haise (LMP)

That's affirm. I used the breaker on 16, PRIMARY S-BAND POWER AMPL breaker is OPEN.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Boy, we must be getting pretty close to the Moon.

Fred Haise (LMP)

Hey, Jack. Bring me down one of the …

Jack Swigert (CMP)

… need two of them, I guess …

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Yes. I've been meaning to tell you about that, yes.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

You know where this … water?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

You know where this … water?

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Pretty close? How's the hoses coming?

Jim Lovell (CDR)

That screen goes—goes on—Fred's hose up there.

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Yes. Here, take that one. … another few minutes …

Jack Swigert (CMP)

Let's not forget to haul these out of here.

Jim Lovell (CDR)

Get the hose screens?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Houston, Aquarius. How do you read?

Fred Haise (LMP)

Hello, Houston; Aquarius. How do you read?

Vance Brand (CAPCOM)

Aquarius, Houston. Loud and clear.
