Telephone engineer heard during Apollo EVA

Hi all,

I have a sound file I downloaded a couple of years ago of a Spanish
telephone engineer who was heard saying "hello, hello" then singing
during one of the EVSs. The commentator explained that he had been
"isolated, electronically that is!". I can't remember where I got it
from and my googling has found nothing. I have a feeling it was during
Apollo 15 can I am prepared to be corrected on that one. Can anyone here
remember the incident and provide a pointer to where I could read more
about it. I have most of the Apogee Mission Reports CDs, so it must be
in there somewhere, but I am hoping that someone can narrow my search
please.

Thanks in advance.

"To talk to Mission Control, press 1."

It was during Apollo 16.

I think it's during ALSEP deploy.

I believe the telephone engineer was heard during the trip out to the Moon....I
am guessing 4/17 or 4/18 of 1972.

If it is any help, I have posted the sound file to some of my web space.

It sounds to me like it was during one of the moonwalks. I am slowly
making my way through the Apogee Apollo 16 CD moonwalk videos. It's a
lot to watch, but fun nonetheless.

At least during early US flights, Bell had a "no touch" policy.
Techs would stop working on any major circuit at critical times.
This in case the circuit they THOUGHT they were working was in fact
one of NASA's.

Ma had to build considerable facilities to support NASA; I recall
one major route from KSC to Houston.
