Sigma Seven, Kano Cap Com.

Kano, this is Sigma Seven. Over.

Hello, Kano Cap Com. Sigma Seven. Over.

Roger, Sigma Seven. I have not read your transmissions. Over.

Roger. I had to switch to HF at this time, and am in VOX at this time. HF. How do you read?

Negative, Seven. Would you say again?

I'm on VOX—correct, I am going to push-to-talk on HF. Do you read me now?

Roger. I read you better now.

Okay. Do you want some suit stuff?

Roger. How is your suit doing?

Okay. I've already caught the dome temperature. Went up to about 82 (degrees). I've got it back to 81 (degrees). The suit inlet went up to 80 (degrees). I've got it back to 78 (degrees). I am back at the setting of almost 7.5 on the suit set selector. I'm going to setting number 8 at this time.

Understand. You are going to number 8 on suit setting.

That is correct.

Would you say again your suit temperature.

Suit temperature at this time is dropping slowly. It is now 77 (degrees).

You're rising?

Negative. It is dropping—lowering.

What is your dome temperature?

It is coming down. It is now 81, 81 (degrees).

Roger, I copied.

Okay, I think we got locks on it by going higher in settings.

Say again. You were garbled.

I think we have the situation under control.

I am now in ASCS, gyros normal, maneuver off, all systems green. I am green.

Roger. Understand. Auto retro.

That is affirmative.

Our telemetry shows pitch attitude of 25 (degrees) negative and our scanner shows 36 (degrees) negative.

Roger, your scanner is correct. I am indicating 36 (degrees) negative that it checks with the window.

Sigma Seven.
