Thanks for locating the archive.
Listening to it now.

This was felt just about everywhere in SoCal, so you may want to check all the feeds down there (SNA, ZLA, PSP, BUR, EMT, RAL, RMN (RAL and RMN were closest to the epicenter, so you'd hear a fair amount there if there was traffic around), and SMO). You'll hear some pretty good stuff all around.

i did listen to sna archives when I thought about it, they actually closed down their airport for inspection after the quake unlike lax who mostly did pilot reports after landing

On the KRAL archive July 29, 1830Z you can hear the towers advising that they are having an earthquake and that landings are at pilots risk.  SoCal was giving EFC times and rerouting for approaches into KONT for runway inspections.

I was about 4 miles from epicenter and go rocked pretty good.
