GO/NO GO:
We never got a GO/NO GO beeause we lost
our number 1 radio in about 4 minutes sometime just
prior . . . let see we got a .8 . . . .
Wti got a V
over VR of . 8 .
We got a GO/NO GO of ,..
You did get a , 8?
We got a .8.
Yes , that comes much later - that com(!S after the
GO/NO GO.
Yes, that ' s right , okay, well I don ' t remember
ever getting a ... yea, we did, we go·~ MCC GO.
Right we got a GO/NO GO , okay, but then
immediately after . 8 we never got any·':hing at all
from there on until aft er we were insi~rted and gone
to UHF No. 2.
I think it must be in the antenna problem, I really
do .
Well , there 's some problem there because the same
thing happened on one of the previous flights and
we definitely and completely lost radio and I
switched over just before we inserted,
I switched
over to number 2 and then when I call1~d but the
IVI's we were back with them then .
