#68, Alleged Conversation

The "We're not speaking to you" alleged conversation begins immediately after the dispatcher's last "Patsy?" You can hear this using studio-quality headphones and a high-fidelity recording --- but you cannot really hear what was claimed because it's not distinguishable from "You're a spinach," Jams' "Red, White, and Blue," or what I heard once, "God's many beleaguered." In the past four and a half years, I have worked with audio quite a bit. I immediately heard what BPD was wondering about as soon as it was played by NBC, but I don't believe that there is really any converation there, certainly not what they said was there. If you don't have a high-fidelity recording, studio-quality headphones, and audio enhancement software, nor audio experience, you may have a REALLY hard time figuring out what the heck they are talking about. You'll only hear a click, then several Patsy's followed by what appears to be silence, then typing. But there is a lot more there to hear if you have the right equipment and experience, it's just that none of the alleged conversation is intelligible even WITH good equipment and experience.

At least two-thirds of the alleged conversation should be on that MP3 file, and should be on the NBC recording. Any part that is missing from the NBC recording should be on the LKL "end" recording. Jams posted what I recorded at the end of the LKL recording, and there still is no distinguishable conversation. If you obtained the "official" copy, you will probably be disappointed. I don't believe it's going to be any more useful than what you already have with the NBC recording and the LKL end of the tape except it will not be an MP3 compression so Patsy's words may be slightly more comprehensible. It also won't be enhanced (neither dynamically compressed nor made into a binaural recording) so some parts of it will be harder to hear.

If anyone does obtain this in the near future, it might be helpful to have posted the last few seconds to compare with what is already posted. I don't expect any difference.
