I have been unable to receive Honolulu ATC on HF for some years now, although I did get them regularly in 1989/90 during the last peak of the solar cycle. Now, currently listening to San Francisco ATC on 5574 Khz they instruct a/c to "change to honolulu centre on 126.6" - does this mean Honolulu no longer works HF on this sector? I would be grateful for the current regions "CEP", "NP", "CWP" and "SP" HF frequencies if any kind soul would supply them.

CEP-1/2: 2869, 3413, 5547, 5574, 8843, 11282.
CEP-1/2: 2998, 4666, 6532, 6562, 8903, 11384.
NP-1/2: 2932, 5628, 5677, 6665, 8915 13294.
These freqs have remained for many years and are still in use, but HNL & OAK centers have extended VHF coverage as well.

Plimmer,
HNL has been out of the HF business for quite a while - all handled by Oakland.
Still have a freq change @ 140W though. On my flights OAK is usually 8867 or 5643 west of 140W and 5574 of 3413 east of 140W.
The rest of the SP crowd - BNE, POM, NAN, AKL, PPT use 13261, 8867 or 5643 depending on time of day.

Thanks very much for the very interesting replies - most revealing.
Does that mean Honolulu now uses ship based extended range VHF to cover its FIR?
What of the NP region to Guam and Tokyo?

Plimmer,
The HF station is still on the mountain on the island of Hawaii, but it all goes by sat to OAK. What has happened is, I guess, "rationalisation" by AIRINC.
No ship based stuff. NP and CEP same as SP and CWP I think.
