Okay, Jack. We're going to get a time on a revolution here, and maybe that'll help you out.

Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Jack. The Moon went through that time at 32 degrees on the LPD.

Okay, Jack. Well, we didn't get the Earth that time. The Moon came back through at about 10 degrees, and now we're getting to the Earth again. Stand by.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. The Earth came through the LPD at 62 degrees that time. And the total time for the two revolutions,—I missed the Earth revolution before, but the total time for the Earth's two revolutions was 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Say again the time and the—and also the LPD number. You're in the background noise, Jack.

Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Okay, Jack. LPD that time was 62 degrees and that was for two revolutions, being at that distance we missed the Earth—The time before we didn't see it. And the time was 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Jack, Jim said it isn't uncomfortable. It's a little annoying as for the OMNI switching, and also he said it's kind of—He said this Earth/Moon relationship's kind of … because he doesn't know when to …

Aquarius, how about cycling the power temp monitor to find out which battery it is, please.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Fred. We copy your same old friend, battery 2. Could you give us high bit rate for a while, please?
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Okay, Aquarius. You can go low bit rate, POWER AMP, OFF and DOWN VOICE BACKUP now. Voltages and currents look normal on battery 2; so ignore the battery light.

Okay, Jim. Since the antenna switch is kind of annoying, we've talked them into buying only half of the data. If it gets too troublesome for you to switch antennas, why, just leave it on one antenna and we'll listen to you half of the time.

Jim Lovell (CDR)
-
Okay. It's not really much trouble. That's all we're doing about it. We'll try to keep up with it. And you're satisfied with this attitude so far. I guess you're going to watch the thermal and find out whether perhaps we're going to some other PTC attitude.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Roger. Thermal appears to be no problem. We're looking at what DELTA-V might have been imparted due to this, and it looks like we're not going to change the PTC attitude.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
Yes. We'll be looking at the data here, and give you a better answer in next 30 minutes or so.
-
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
-
And, Jim, we're going to have a handover here pretty soon, about 3 minutes, we may lose uplink for 30 seconds or a minute.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)

Okay. I'm hearing you now, and the noise has come up again, but it will go down.
