[BC] RE: 10 kHz spacing / 9 kHz Receiver

Really?  That contradicts the frequency assignments that were established by
the
ITU:

Mediumwave (MW) radio transmissions serves as the most common band for
broadcasting.
The standard AM broadcast band is 525 kHz to 1715 kHz in North America, but
remains
only up to 1615 kHz elsewhere.  In most of the Americas, mediumwave stations
are 
separated by 10 kHz and have two sidebands of ?5 kHz. In the rest of the
world, 
the separation is 9 kHz, with sidebands of ?4.5 kHz. 

What stations in the Caribbean are operating on "odd" frequencies?

Also, using 9 kHz spacing, there is no 885.  There is, however, 882.
