Oh, sorry: ZOA/134.15 ... that's pretty much where you'll hear any 
oceanic-bound flight from the San Francisco area.  My experience with 
387.1 is that both the transmitter and the receiver are awful; even the 
most die-hard never-mix-with-the-rabble fighter pilots usually use VHF 
in that sector :)

CACTI 71 asked Travis/CP if they could dump fuel in order to get the 
weight down for their return, and they were denied.  ZOA gave them some 
room to burn it off for ~45 minutes and CACTI landed after that.

AFAIK, the second wave is still at SFO this morning.
