I recall that there were a lot of licenses for oil companies in the FCC database between 1610 and 1730 kHz before the band opened up to broadcasting. Many of them were in between the 10 kHz channel spacing. I tuned through often but never did hear anything on those channels. I presumed that whatever it was used very low power. Someone once told me that many of these were very low power marker / navigation buoys used in oil exploration off the coasts.
