Roger. The Hornet is on station just far enough off the target point to keep from getting hit. Recovery 1, or the chopper, is there; they're on station. And Hawaii Rescue 1 and 2, the C 130's, are within 40 minutes of your target point. Over.

Roger. Just to get a little downlink here to check out our VHF: I show us about an hour and 37 minutes, approximately, from entry interface. Over.

Ronald Evans (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Looks like we're together on that, and I guess we're standing by for you to whip into the entry attitude.
-
Buzz Aldrin (LMP)
-
Okay. We've just been taking a couple of last minute pictures. We've finished the EMS entry check, primary water EVAP activation.

Houston, Apollo 11. Like to switch to S band OMNI C. I just did a minute ago, and noticed a loss of signal strength, over.

Roger. Faces are red here. We lost data with you there for a while. Did you do the P52? Over.
-
Neil Armstrong (CDR)
-
That's affirmative, we completed the P52. We'll give you the data from it in just a second. We passed our sextant star check at entry attitude, and right now we're maneuvering to our first horizon check pitch attitude of 298 degrees.

Apollo 11, Houston. About 4 minutes to 1 hour, and I'll give you a mark at 1 hour. Was a command module preheat necessary? Over.

Roger. We don't want to jettison the hydrogen tank that stratified, so could you cycle the fans in tank 2 please? Hydrogen tank 2.

Michael Collins (CMP)

You better believe, that old service module has taken good care of us. We want to take good care of it.

11, Houston. I'll give you a time hack at 58 minutes to go. It's about 15 seconds yet.

Roger. We have our update at the state vector out there for you. Request P00 and ACCEPT. Over.
