Young: I think they were pushing the PDI Go/No-Go a little closer than I would like to have had it to the No—Go. I don’t know what you do about that. Go baby, go.
Mattingly:DonÂ’t check the secondary gimbals.
Young: Communications — we must have had terrible communications with the ground without the steerable antenna. The LM[P] and I never had any trouble hearing them.
Communications - I thought were real good both from the Command and Service Module to the ground, and back and from the LM to the Command and Service Module, as well as to and from the LM to the ground. Ken said he could hear us all the way on the VHF. On the LM, he could hear us till T-2. Which would have been real useful to know in case we would have had to use that mode. Thank goodness we didnÂ’t.Mattingly: Just as clear as you could be.
Young: I think there should be some use of the CMC DSKY to obtain antenna pointing angles. When a pointing angle changes, I think here should be some limitations as to the number that they pass up to you. If it only changes a couple of degrees, I donÂ’t really think thereÂ’s any sense in taking up crew time copying down what it is.
