archive consultants Leszek Gawlikowski and Laszlo Rajki oversaw the
project, which was epic in scope. The 1956 log tapes alone contained a
total of over 6500 broadcast hours, recorded on 60 fourteen-track paperbacked
tapes.
Today, much of the restorative work could be done on laptop, but ten years
ago the project required more creative solutions. Using two computers, a
Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit, a low noise amplifier, and a modified
Telefunken tape machine (which reduced the tape speed), former RFE/RL
Hungarian Service producer Robert Trunk was able to meticulously transfer
the recordings on the tape to MP3 format. In 2001, Trunk spent several
months adjusting the audio for each of the 727 tape tracks, transferring
the output to the NAS, editing the audio to enhance sound quality, and
finally depositing the content onto 60 CDs.
Preserved by historical accident and retrieved with modern technology,
this unique record of a key period of RFE broadcast history is now
available for research.
