Hi Barry,
We have found on 10m that rounded frequencies in 5kHz banks are problematic to
local services in nearby countries.
we try to avoid say 28.400 28.405 etc
Good luck with your quest

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contest SSB Frequencies
Hi, due to poor hearing, I am not on SSB that much, but mainly CW. However,
some improvements with my hearing device have made me more willing to try
SSB. I am wondering if people always use integral number of KHz. In CW, I
never paid attention to exact freq, just found empty freq in band and
called CQ. But recently was calling CQ for a ragchew in SSB, and the fellow
said I am on a fractional freq and wanted to know exactly what it was so he
could tune it better. Said was unusual. Is that always the practice in SSB
and in SSB contests to use whole numbers? I imagine the bands get crowded
and not always so easy to find a whole number freq. Please correct me if
that is standard practice in CW and RTTY, as well, something I never knew
about.
73,
Barry WA2VIU
