9.8 HF Evaluati on
Conrad
Cooper
some 160 miles .
I read the numbers out over the
air. I ' m not sure that they aren't on t ape , too.
The tape hadn't run out then .
Then we tracked back
out again and it pointed right to t his f-''.ILA area
here at the Cape when we had the needles centered .
Gordo was tracking on the needles, and it seemed to
work real well.
We are really impressed with it.
As you know, we got it to lock on the REP everytime
after that over the Cape , but we never g~t the range
to read right.
I don't know whether that was a
radar problem or a computer problem.
At that time, the voice recorder was working on the
first test, and I thi nk there is some in::ormation
on the tape.
HF evaluation test number 1.
We transmit ted all
the way around the worl d.
Then we gave i.:.p number 2,
because it was keeping the other :Astronaut awake .
Then we did the other HF transmission test which
was l isten.
We did hear Hawaii for awhile going
away from them and coming back in ­
That was a ridiculous test anyway.
