Narrative:
At approximately XA30, requested FL390 and received clearance to climb from FL370 to FL390 from hnl commercial radio. Reported position 47 north - 150 west at XA44 with us level at FL390. Hnl told us to contact sfo commercial radio. We did and sfo said they had our 150 west report and gave us primary and secondary frequency and SELCAL check. At 45 north - 140 west made progress report to sfo showing us at FL390, time XB29. Shortly thereafter, sfo asked for our altitude and our intentions. We inquired why they asked and they asked if we had gotten a clearance to be at FL370 by 139 west, we told them we had not received any such clearance from hnl or them. We were cleared to descend to FL370 and were level at XB51.
