IN the mornings here in the U.S. (eastern time) that frequency is the
intercontinental amateur traffic net.  tHroughout the rest of the day
it is the maritime mobile service net.  tHat frequency holds nets to
serve folks at sea, deployed service personnel missionaries etc.
I'm a net control there about four hours a week.  It's a good place to
make a sked with somebody if you're on hf, then move off freq to
complete your qso once you've gotten together.
