Dear ed0916,

I have used WW LOC, a small programm for translating WWLoc data into
standard geographic coordinates. The result is that LQ61em equals the
following geographic position:

52° 22' 30" East
71° 31' 15" North

For your covenience, I have marked the approximate position of those
coordinates on a map of Novaya Zemlya with a red circle:

You will notice that the point is not located on the island Novaya
Zemlya itself, but before its coast.

In case you are interested in using the WWLoc data decoder yorself,
you can download it from this website for free:

Hope this helps!

I was sure that the location is that of an island (Kosova Island?)in
the Archipelago of Novaya Zemlaya. So the fact your location is off
the coast is quite as expected.  Thanks for a fine answer.
