In throwing in my $0.02, a plot of what KFI (and other wandering
friends) looks like in UT may be found at:

The absolute frequency isn't exactly 639 KHz (I didn't check calibration
- but its within 1-2 Hz in this case) but at this distance (600 mi, or
about 950 km) KFI is the most obvious signal on the plot - at about
1008-1010 Hz.
As for station(s) that wander around, it seems to be in pretty good
company - there are a few others that have frequency drifts of similar
magnitude - no doubt (at least) partially to to ovens' cycling...
In the FWIW department, the local powerhouse here (KSL, 1160 KHz,
50Kw/24h) appears so be an absolute rock-solid 2.16 (+- 0.02) Hz low in
frequency during the time (20 minutes) that I observed its carrier.
