Plus 38. Roger. Does Cape want me to set that into clock at present time? Over.

Negative, we have not had those instructions. I'll have Arnie check for you.

Roger. I am still operating on prelaunch time of 04 plus 32 plus 28. Over.

Understand.

This is Friendship Seven. Coming across the Gulf of Lower California at present time in the scope.

Roger.

John, for your information, the clocks will be set over Canaveral.

Roger, understand clocks will be set by command, is that affirm, or do they want…

That is negative. They, on contact with Al, they will have you change the clock.

Roger, understand. Friendship Seven.

For your information your O2 is holding. It seems to be working; it's reading about

Roger, Friendship Seven. Cabin temperature is holding steady at about 90 [degrees]. I still have excess cabin water light on and my, I have the cabin water turned almost completely off at present time.

Roger, it sounds like it's working out all right anyway.

Roger, it's doing okay. We'll make one more orbit okay.

I assume you are still on manual proportional; is that correct?

That's affirmative, I'm still on manual.

Friendship Seven, Guaymas Cap Com reads you loud and clear. Over.

Roger, Guaymas. Read you loud and clear, also.

This, this operation of ASCS has been very erratic. I have not been able to pin it down to any particular, one particular item. It went off one direction in yaw at one time; it went off the other the next time. I felt for a little while that pitch was drifting. It seemed to have a little stuck thrust in pitch at one time and I have to keep correcting that and that corrected itself and then I was off in roll just after I came off the dark side this time. Over.

Roger, understand. I have all that down. Could you give us a blood pressure please?

Roger. Standby.

Friendship Seven, can you give me both your primary and secondary oxygen?

Roger, primary oxygen is 62 [percent], secondary is 94 [percent].

Roger.

This is Friendship Seven. I'm letting it drift a little bit to the right here to look up north.

Friendship Seven, Bermuda Cap Com.

Go ahead Bermuda.

Your fans inverter temperature is 205 [degrees] and your ASCS temperature is 195 [degrees].

Roger, sounds real good, Gus, fine.

You're in good shape.

Roger.

Friendship Seven, you want to go to HF now?

Roger, Friendship Seven. Going to HF.

Friendship Seven, Bermuda Cap Com. How do you read on HF?

Bermuda, Friendship Seven. Loud and clear; how me?

You're weak but readable, John.

Roger.

Friendship Seven, Bermuda we have lost TM contact.

Roger, understand LOS.

This is Friendship Seven. I've drifted around almost to the 180° point again.

Friendship Seven, Bermuda Cap Com. Are you still in contact?

Roger, this is Friendship Seven. I'm around at the 180 [degree] point. I'm facing the direction I'm traveling, Gus. Do you still receive? Over.

Friendship Seven, Bermuda Cap Com. We do not read you.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is CYI Com Tech, CYI Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Hello, Canary Com Tech. On HF; how do you receive me? Loud and clear from you. Over.

Friendship Seven, this is CYI Com Tech. Do you read? Over.

Roger, Canary.

Rog, Roger. Read you 5 by, read you 5 by, here in the Canaries. Over.

Roger, Friendship Seven. I read you loud and clear on HF, also.

Friendship Seven, Friendship Seven, this is Canary Cap Com. I read you loud and clear.

Roger, Canary. Loud and clear here also.

Would you give me a brief station report? Over.

Roger. Manual fuel at 54 [percent].

Friendship Seven, this is Canary Cap Com. How do you feel?

This is Friendship Seven. I feel fine; no effects whatsoever, none.

Friendship Seven. Are you still seeing the particles around your capsule?

Negative. I don't seem to see them around here on this side. I saw a few, just a few just after I left Canaveral and turned around facing forward. They were coming toward me at that time. I was going, so I know that they were not coming from the capsule at all. I saw the particles in huge quantities at each sunrise so far. Over.

Say again, Friendship Seven.

The particles I saw were mainly at sunrise each time around. Over.

I understand. What control mode are you on?
