1025 music, 1029 talking, 1031 IDs as XTC on the SW band,
1033 music : "Hong Kong girl" was announced
Jock Wilson, I heard 'on the SW band' after the second ID. I did not understand the full ID 'Xenon Transmitting Company', so I did not report that, I reported only what I really
 understood, but there is no doubt. I just reported 'on the SW band' to ascertain it was an ID, and not anything about the XTC rock band.
