Narrative:

After we departed hks airport, we called departure control 3 times, but no response, then called the memphis center. They gave us a different frequency to call. We tried that and still no response, so called memphis center again and they gave us a clearance for IFR. We may have gone through the arsa west/O radio contact with jackson departure.
