Just a heads up, yesterday afternoon and last night I had a listen to
610 and 1830. I was hearing the station referred too.

Did not hear 610 on second harmonic at all.

I did hear three stations on the second harmonic, nothing from 610.

As a note the one of the second harmonic stations has level issues; I
did not have a chance to turn on the spectrum analyzer to look at their
signal.

There must be someone much closer than I am ( approximately 50 miles
from me.)

If I get a chance I will turn on the gear and have a look at the
various frequencies tonight.
