Okay. And, Houston, stand by for a mark on another picture.

Roger. Standing by.

MARK it.

Roger. We copy, Fred.

Okay, Vance; we've completed that procedure, and let me know if everything was okay.

Okay, thank you. We'll let you know if anything isn't okay. I'm sure it's good now.

Tell GNC and GUIDO thanks a lot for keeping good track of me, there.

Roger. They're right on the ball.

And, 13, Houston. If you would like, we can let you know about every 2 minutes before the Earth should be coming into your window. We think we've got it pegged down pretty well now, and you won't have to look for it so much. You want that?

Yes. That would be fine, Vance.

Okay.

And, 13, Houston. GUIDO says the bits are reset—rather, are set.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead, Houston.

It's time for Fred to start looking for the Earth, should be coming by in about a couple of minutes.

Okay. He's got his head out there right now.

Yes. You've got that pretty well pegged, man. There it be.

Okay.

Okay. Stand … countdown.

MARK.

Apollo 13, Houston. Over.

Go ahead, Houston.

Roger. We're enjoying Fred's music there.

Yes, … up here.

Yes, I kind of like it too, Vance.

Houston, Apollo 13.

13, Houston. Go ahead.

Okay, Vance, we did another EMS null bias test and the—it went from 100.0 to 101.8 in 100 seconds.

13, Houston.

Go ahead, Vance.

Jack, like to verify, was that 100 to 100.8 or 101.8?

101.8.

Roger.

It was plus 100 to plus 101.8.

Roger.

Apollo 13, Houston.

Go ahead.

The Earth's coming up in the window again in 1 to 2 minutes.

He's got it. You're right again.

Okay, stand by for a mark here.

Roger.

Okay, ready? 3, 2, 1 -
