to come back in, because we were really losing
communic~tions.
We were trying HF and all kinds
of things.
Information just wasn't getting
up to us.
That was after EVA.
Right.
Communications just weren ' t getting 11p
to us.
I figured we didn't have any communications
with the ground during EVA.
No, we didn' t . Our VOX blocked t hem out.
I know it.
But the Communications Systems Check that was
supposed to be performed at 15 minutes-­
we sort of already accomplished the thing,
because we 'd used UHF No. 1 and No. 2.
I made the check with them.
Did you make the check? -- that ' s right you made
the check but we didn ' t use the HF because we
weren't going to put the antenna out until after
EVA.
We didn ' t do anything with the urine
bags except keep them right where they were.
At this time we didn't pressure check both
suits , because we did this later.
We didn ' t aline the platform, as I mentioned.
