Michael Collins (CMP): Oh, Just fine. How's the old White Team today?
01 06 51 27
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Oh, the old White Team's bright-eyed and bushytailed. We're ever alert down here.
01 06 51 33
Michael Collins (CMP): Ever alert and … Hey, you got any medics down there watching high grade? I'm trying to do some running in place down here, and I'm wondering just out of curiosity whether it brings my heart rate up.
01 06 51 44
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Well, they will spring into action here momentarily. Stand by.
01 06 52 12
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, 11. We see your heart beating.

01 06 52 18
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay, Well—look at the CDR's and the CMP's and see if they go up any. We're all running in place up here. You wouldn't believe it.
01 06 52 26
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): I'd like to see that sight. Why don't you give us a TV picture of that one.
01 06 52 31
Michael Collins (CMP): I think Buzz is trying. You got it.
01 06 52 36
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay. It's coming in at Goldstone, Buzz. As Bruce, said, we don't have it here in the center.
01 06 52 58
Michael Collins (CMP): I'm afraid this isn't going to help out the PTC very much.
01 06 53 05
Michael Collins (CMP): Yes. I don't know if it's a vibration or what it is, but it makes the pitch and yaw rate needles on FDAI number 1 jump up and down a little bit where we jump up and down.
01 06 53 19
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. Goldstoners say they see you running there, Mike.
01 06 53 29
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay.
01 06 53 31
Neil Armstrong (CDR): Ask him what he's running from.
01 06 53 48
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. Mike, we see about a 96 heartbeat now.
01 06 53 56
Michael Collins (CMP): Okay. Thank you.
01 06 54 27
Michael Collins (CMP): Well, that's about all that is reasonable, without getting hot and sweaty.
01 06 54 32
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. We copy.
01 06 58 00
Michael Collins (CMP): Goldstone should be getting about the best picture of the Earth we can give them right now, Charlie.
01 06 58 03
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger, Mike. Thank you much.
01 06 58 07
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): We've got a tittle distortion in the horizontal direction from banding on our monitor. I wonder if they're getting the same thing?
01 06 58 27
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Stand by, Buzz. I'll let you know.
01 06 58 29
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): I guess it would be more described as a waviness.
01 06 58 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Goldstone M&O, Houston CAP COMM.
01 06 58 57
CommTech: Goldstone M&O.
01 06 58 58
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay. The crew is complaining of some horizontal banding on their monitor. Do you see that on the picture?

01 06 59 05
CommTech: Stand by.
01 06 59 14
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): They wouldn't see anything now. We don't have anything in focus, Charlie.
01 06 59 20
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. He's checking on it. I'll see if they had it earlier. Stand by.
01 06 59 28
Michael Collins (CMP): I guess when we're showing the DSKY or when we're showing the Earth might be the better time.
01 06 59 34
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay.
01 06 59 40
CommTech: Houston CAP COMM, Goldstone.
01 06 59 42
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Go ahead.
01 06 59 43
CommTech: Okay. Our TV people confirm they see this horizontal band.
01 06 59 46
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay.
01 06 59 51
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): 11, Houston. The Goldstone TV people also see the banding when—at the same time you do. Over.
01 07 00 02
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Okay. Would they call it a horizontal waviness, instead of banding, maybe?
01 07 00 06
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): I'm not talking to them directly. Stand by, Buzz. Let me see how they describe it.
01 07 00 13
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Goldstone M&O, Houston CAP COMM. Could you put the TV guy on the loop, please?
01 07 00 19
CommTech: CAP COMM, Goldstone. Roger.
01 07 01 01
CommTech: Houston CAP COMM, Goldstone M&O NET 1.
01 07 01 04
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Go.
01 07 01 05
CommTech: The TV people do not have access to NET 1 in that area. Suggest we use NET 2 For that purpose.
01 07 01 10
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Okay. Going to NET 2.
01 07 02 02
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. The Goldstone TV guys say they have some horizontal banding across the upper part of the picture and across the lower part. They would consider the lines just straight, no waviness to them at all. Over.
01 07 02 24
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Roger. Understand. They do seem to distort vertical lines though.
01 07 02 30
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Say again about the vertical lines, Buzz.
01 07 02 35
Buzz Aldrin (LMP): Roger. When there's a vertical line, these horizontal bands tend to put small waves in it.
01 07 02 44
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Roger. I copy. He didn't mention that. Stand by, I'll check again.
01 07 03 30
Charlie Duke (CAPCOM): Hello, 11. Houston. The Goldstone TV said that when you get a sharp vertical line on the picture, when the horizontal banding goes across, it does appear to bend it slightly. The same as Apollo 10, they said. Looks okay to them. Over.
