From that time on the radio traffic can be so easily edited, silence is not what people want to hear so a lot of the delays would have been easily cut. It is also now very easy to blend noise now. I have done this with a high level audio editing tools.
I would first like to listen to these recording, I could most probably determine they are true or not as my first 16 years of technical work was with HF, VHF, UHF 2 way radio communications before going into satelitte/microwave radio.

Hi Malcolm I feel a lot better about this with your input
What caused me to notice the lack of delay was listening to a commentary upon the Mars landers on the radio (ABC) and how the delay between Earth and Mars dictated their approach.
It is easy to take for granted things happen instantly on Earth but the way they have to program the Mars landers makes one realize that as fast as radio waves travel we can not operate the landers as if they were like a remote controlled model air plane or rc car etc ... it is easy to form an impression of someone sitting at NASA with a hand controller like we have with RC model planes etc driving a lander around the surface of Mars but the reality of delay causes an almost chaotic approach to downloading data from one days events and programing for the next days tasks.
Thanks again for your input
