Check out the nearest airport with instrument procedures, Imperial County (KIPL). Note the remarks for the airport state:

APCH/DEP SVC PRVDD BY LOS ANGELES ARTCC ON FREQS 128.6/291.7 (JULIAN RCAG).

Call LA Center on 128.60, if you don't hear them right away, climb higher.

Boom

You lot and your fancy schmancy radio simulation algorithms!

If the airport you're leaving doesn't have a published departure frequency, another way to find the overlying ATC is to look at the IFR Enroute-Low chart, and find the nearest radio box. I just wish they'd print those on the VFR sectionals too.

Yes indeed. Or find the nearest airport with procedures and use the frequency from there.
