I picked up a Spanish-language station on AM 1450, which must be from the
U.S. or Mexico. It gave only the slogan "La Rancherita", which I haven't
found on any list. Can anyone help?

Based on conditions at the time (Nov. 25th 0735 UTC) and antenna
direction, U.S. East Coast is excluded, likely from the West or Midwest -
or Mexico. Heard using an NRD-535 with a 1000-meter-long beverage antenna
in Northern Finland. Played lots of Mexican music. I already phoned KGRE
Greeley CO, but the slogan is not theirs. Any help on this UNID is highly
appreciated!

Here is an extract from WHAMLOG:

1450 XECB    SAN LUIS RIO COL SO MX. 001000 D ND1 U N32 27 39 W114 49 01 880318
1450 XECB    SAN LUIS RIO COL SO MX. 001000 N ND1 U N32 27 39 W114 49 01 880318
1450 XECB    SAN LUIS RIO COL SO MX. 001000 U ND1 U N32 27 39 W114 49 01 851003

The 1997 WRTH lists XECB-1450 "R. Ranchito", San Louis. Could that be what you heard?
