- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Joe. Is EECOM monitoring the O2 FLOW HIGH light again? We haven't yet started the venting yet.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Jack, your cabin REGs are still making up, but you're GO to open the waste management vent again at this time, and we'll delta the time to close it by the appropriate amount for you.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger, Fred. We had an LOS for a minute and we lost our TV picture. It looks like—yes, we Just got it back. It looks great again.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
13, Houston. You might stop the f-stop down one more notch, if you got any left.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Joe. We can see it start to move. However, it doesn't seem to be a lot of debris or vapor coming out of it.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Roger that, Jack. Booster says that's great. He says the booster's doing its thing normally. Concur. We don't see much on the television at all.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
And, Apollo 13, Houston. We'd like to change the S-band and antenna configuration. Like you to go OMNI Delta. Like you to go MANUAL mode on the high gain with pitch of minus 60 and yaw of 90. Over.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. You want us to OMNI Delta and MANUAL on the high gain to minus 60 and plus 90. Is that correct?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, 13; this is Houston. You can turn the TV off anytime you're ready. We've enjoyed the show.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
13, Houston. Before you secure the TV, we'd like to know whether that was in maximum zoom, just for information.

And, 13, Houston. The APS evasive maneuver appeared to be nominal. The LOX dump time is now 4 plus 39 plus 20, about 3 minutes late.
- John Young (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. They are having trouble verifying that the high gain is doing its thing. Like to verify that the pitch is minus 10, the Y is plus 350, you're in WIDE BEAM WIDTH and AUTO.
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Okay. Minus 10 pitch, plus 350 yaw, and WIDE BEAM WIDTH and going into AUTO. You want HIGH GAIN, John?
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
Well, I don't know. It should be—let's see, it should have started the LOX dump at least quite a while ago. I guess that's complete. Why do you ask, Fred?
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
I'm looking out window 5 at what I think is the S-IVB, and I'm seeing what looks to be double plumes, going in two very narrow bands maybe about 3 degrees that are streaming out from it. And then there is a less dense band that covers maybe a 40-degree swath through the sky that continues out, also, in two directions.
- Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Hey, Joe, what it looks like, kind of, is if you pull up behind a guy that's pulling a contrail, and you get in his contrail, like he's going away from you—there's a long contrail -
- Fred Haise (LMP)
-
Except we're between—Looks like we're between two contrails, one guy above and one below.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
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.
- Joe Kerwin (CAPCOM)
-
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. We copy, Jim. We'll be standing by for the mark.

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