It works going eastbound on the redeye home as well. Just tune in KNX 1070, L.A. They're still doing traffic reports at 0100 local time...Hilarious! You can usually receive it at top of climb.Just don't follow that ADF needle too far. I think their antenna it at the top of Mount Wilson.

I remember taking a few UAL 747 flights from SFO to HNL back in the late 90s. That was the best way to travel...lots of space and arriving at a beautiful island in a beautiful aircraft.
