Here is channel 2 of the Dallas Police Department's radio traffic from
November 22, 1963. Channel 2 was the channel used to coordinate special
events. This disc is the one being recorded when the President was
assassinated, at 12:30 pm.
This is something I’ve been working on and just finished. I
actually started doing this back in 2001 and that’s what led to
discovering that channel 2 had forward skips, which led to other
discoveries, and I never finished doing what I'd started out to do.
The base version is the tape copy made in November 1963 by the Dallas
Police. It is a digital copy of the tape held by the National Archives.
It is at this point the best quality version there is. But it skips and
has repeats. I speed corrected this to match the corrected speed of the
FBI version, which was made for the Ramsey panel by playing on a
phonograph and doesn’t have skips. It comes from Ramsey's files.
Repeats were removed, and forward skips were inserted by taking the
missing material from the FBI version. This was a very tedious process.
I did not alter the sound of either version so that you can audibly tell
when a piece of the FBI copy is inserted.
This process has produced the first intact, non-skipping, best quality
copy of the Audograph disc that was being recorded at 12:30 November 22nd,
1963.
