Mike,
The European BC frequencies are at 9kHz spacing instead of
our 10 kHz.
So while we get some birdies on multiples of 10's, they have
them on multiples of 9.
That would mean 1800, 1809, 1818, 1827, 1836, and so on are
potential problems.
There are some other frequencies that can be problems, but
those are the most universal.
Also remember there is a digital transmitter in New Zealand
on 1818.5, and that many other countries share the 9kHz
spacing of AM stations.
