Any frequency that divides by 10 kHz can be a poor choice on 160 
(and on 80 too), especially if you're running QRP, thanks to 
intermod from broadcast stations. I almost always hear a carrier on 
1810, often on 1820, 1830, and 1840. Most of the time they're down 
around S3, but not always. And the guys around Fresno are struggling 
with an intermod product that used to be 30 dB over 9, but last I 
heard, is now down around S6.
