In your country, perhaps.

If you look at the WRTH _shortwave_ frequency list, much more than 95
% of the stations are spaced at 5 kHz multiples, as the ITU requires
them to be.

Those that are not, seems to have problems with their frequency
stability and may drift somewhere between. These are usually small
private stations, in which the equipment has been hacked up by some
local technician.
