13.927 USB Mars

[hfdxer]

Mars station AF9PF with Century 60 trying to establish phone patch but unable due to propagation. Switched to 11.407 USB but no joy on that frequency. Returned to 13.927 USB and also no joy on this one. Propagation was not on their side this time. Time 13:32 utc. Interestingly enough was able to hear both transmissions.
location: Los Angeles, CA
Receiver: AOR 7030+
antenna alpha delta dx ultra

This is a good freq to have in your rotation during hurricane season. On occasion, the Hurricane Hunters will use a MARS patch to get in touch when the satellite links aren't working
