This is Volume I of III of the Gemini VII voice communications transcript, covering pages 1 to 337 and marked Confidential. It records air-to-ground, ground-to-air and on-board exchanges beginning at lift-off. Early passages cover staging, orbit insertion and stationkeeping with the booster, which the crew reports is venting heavily, and they photograph it. Later passages near 116 hours hold the crew's detailed descriptions of airglow, stars and a sunrise seen from orbit.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.

Did you copy? 71:53:37 C Roger. Thank you. 71:54:11 C Boy! Hi Fi is really coming in great now, Elliot. 71:54:15 CC Roger. We're getting it pretty good here too. Is it seeming to hold all the way around or do you get fadeouts in certain areas? 71:54:23 C We get fadeout in areas, but it sure is good over here. 71:54:29 CC Does it seem to be related to the day-night cycle at all? 71:54:33 C We haven't noticed it.
