Roger, going to UHF.

Friendship Seven, Muchea Cap Com. How now? Over.

Friendship Seven, this is Muchea Cap Com. How are read now? Over.

Hello, Muchea. Friendship Seven. Read you loud and clear; how me?

Loud and clear. You were coming in slightly garbled. Could you give us your fuel, oxygen and amps? Over.

Roger. Fuel, 60-85 [percent]; oxygen, 65-100 [percent]; amps, 22. Over.

Roger. Exhaust temperature?

Exhaust temperature 50 [degrees]. Over.

Roger, low yaw right.

That's affirmative. When I first had trouble with it, it was malfunctioning in low yaw left, and now low yaw left is operating okay, but low yaw right is not operating. Over.

Roger. Have you tried caging your gyros and re-erecting them. What do you think about this? Over.

Negative, have not yet. I want to get an alignment as soon as I get back in daylight and do just exactly that. I think my, I'm probably not—my scanners are probably not working right. Over.

Roger. Will you confirm the Landing Bag switch is in the off position? Over.

That is affirmative. Landing Bag switch is in the center off position.

You haven't had any banging noises or anything of this type at higher rates?

Negative.

They wanted this answer. Do you have your retrosequence times 2 Dog, Easy, and Golf from Indian Ocean Ship?

Standby one. Yes, 2 Easy, and Golf, yes, I do have those.

Roger.

Do you have any, are you ready for Z and R Cal? Over.

Affirmative, go ahead.

Cal coming through.

Any comments on weightlessness, etc.

Negative, I have no ill effects whatsoever. I don't even really notice it now. I'm just, very comfortable.

Fine.

I have the constellation of Orion up here in the window now. I'm holding a position on it.

Roger, good. Your 150 VA is 200 [degrees]; your 250 VA is 190 [degrees]. Over.

Roger.

R Cal, coming now.

Friendship Seven, Muchea Cap Com. Do you still have high, both high thrusters in fly-by-wire? Over.

That's affirmative, I do.

Roger.

Friendship Seven, Woomera Cap Com. We have contact, TM solid and UHF solid. Over.

Roger, Woomera.

Friendship Seven, are you ready to go ahead with this 30-minute report? Over.

Negative, not just at the moment. Stand by.

Roger, Friendship Seven.

Friendship Seven, Muchea. Just a reminder to take your exercise after the blood pressure. Over, Woomera.
