It's interesting that the only carrier I had here last night was at 
845.9996.  I think my measurement accuracy is about 0.2 Hz or so.  I 
suspect this was Radio North, but have no way of knowing for sure.  I 
see from the mwoffsets list that they were at 846.002 about a year 
ago, so perhaps they drift around a bit.
