Mission one their own discrete LA center freq? Heard 323.75, so I guess yes, but figured there would me more chatter from at least the controller. So quiet for such busy airspace.

They shut the airspace down around DCA last spring.

LA isn't really that busy when you are up uniform freq's. Pretty much just other mil folks, who aren't that common around there.
