Hello, Apollo 11. Houston. McDonald's got the laser turned on, Would you take a look? Over.

11, Houston. We got some shaft and trunnion for you that might tweak it up a little bit. Shaft of 141.5, trunnion of 39.5. Over.

Apollo 11, Houston. If you see it, it should be coming up—appear to be coming up, through the clouds. McDonald reports that there's a break in the clouds that they're beaming this thing through. Over.

Okays Houston. Neither Neil nor Mike can see it. Incidentally, those shafts and trunnions just missed pointing at the world.

As we are looking at it through the scanning telescope, it would be about a—oh, maybe a third of an Earth radii high and to the left.

But, we did—but we did identify the El Paso area and it appeared to us to be a break in the clouds there, and we looked in that break and saw nothing.

I've followed the procedure through step 7 down to the point where I've got 27303 ENTER, and this resulted in an OPERATOR ERROR LIGHT.

Apollo 11, Houston. Stand by a moment. We'll have an answer for you momentarily. Over.

Okay. Appreciate it, Charlie. Now the light's gone out without any further DSKY action.

Roger. We've finally gotten concurrence on our problem here with 50 guys looking at it. When we were sitting in the 5018, we attempted to load the erasable before you terminated the VERB 49. So Mike, what we're going to have to do is call up the present CDU's, copy those down, and do a VERB 49, load the present, then do a PROCEED, then an ENTER, and then we can then set up ATTITUDE HOLD in step 6. Over.

It appeared to us that we attempted to load the erasable prior to entering on the VERB 49 which VERB 49 was still running, and it clobbered the CDU's. Over.

It looks fine here, Charlie. The 0.7 part is the only part I don't find explained yet.

Roger, Mike. We're working on that one right now. We're coming up with the story soon. Over.

Roger. You're five-by, Mike. We'd like the OMNI configuration as follows. OMNI Alfa place in Bravo, OMNI to OMNI, high-gain track to MANUAL, high-gain yaw 270, pitch —

Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Roger. I'm reading you loud and clear. I'm not sure I got all those. I've got S-band OMNI B, OMNI, track to MANUAL, and beam wide, pitch—you'd better say that again, and yaw 270. Over.

Houston, Apollo 11. Are you ready to copy some numbers on status report, et cetera.
