That is a standard channel world-wide.  There are a number of 9KHz channels
that are also 10KHz.  540, 630, 720, 810 etc.  That's why those are popular
in the US territories outside the US proper.  No hets from adjacents either.
AM radios from anywhere will tune them.

A simple trick to identify a 9KHz frequency is to simply add the numbers.
If they equal 9, it works.  (540) 5+4+0=9.  Larger numbers take two layers
of addition.  (567) 5+6+7=18 and 1+8=9.  (1485) 1+4+8+5=18, 1+8=9.  Works on
LW for most, though there are some European non-standard splits.
