The World Radio TV Handbook is one useful source of this kind of 
information. Using a frequency marker which can be phase locked to Allouis, 
France ( 162 kHz - 2 Megawatts), I have found that the frequency of most if 
not all the BC stations above 7100 kHz are at the 5 kHz intervals as listed 
when the propagation is stable. Although WWV at 10 MHz can be quite strong 
here, down to S4 at the moment due to Aurora, 10 MHz is a busy frequency at 
times here with WWVH, BPM and others sharing the frequency and IMHO is not 
the best reference to use - putting aside any possible effects on "accuracy" 
due to propagation over the long distance to the UK.
