Yes, and so did every other Apollo mission. The moon blocks the communication signals from being sent to Earth, and contact was only regained when the spacecraft began to emerge around the other side.

What can i do for Honda Pilot with radio code error e?
Turn the radio off and then while holding down numbers 1 and 6 turn the radio back on. This will display the 10 digit radio serial number 5 digits at a time. Each 5 digit code will flash 3 times alternately. If you do not have your radio code you will want to write these numbers down so that you can contact the dealer and obtain your radio code. After the radio serial code has cycled your radio should now read CODE prompting you for the radio code. Once you enter the 5 digit code the radio should work. Of course your presets have been wiped out so you'll need to reset those.
Are radio waves electromagnetic energy?
Yes. That's how Earth-bound controllers communicate with the Hubble Space Telescope, the Mars rovers, and with the various space probes still in service. It's also how the Apollo astronauts were able to communicate with Houston while they were on the Moon, and how the forgotten crew currently on the International Space Station are able to tell their colleagues on the ground exactly what they are doing and generally what's going on up there. And it's also how you're able to receive 92 channels of TV from a satellite repeater with that little dish on the garage roof.
