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.
