Don't know if they do on overseas flights, though. It's also possible they may shut it down when below 10,000 feet to comply with the 'sterile cockpit' rule - no idle chatter other than what's necessary for conducting the flight.

It's usually pretty boring radio-wise once you enter the Atlantic or Pacific; other than the required position report check-in at certain points in the crossing.
