Narrative:
On a XA35 duty day, the last leg from lax-abq, I was flying J6 to zun VOR and on the lavan 3 arrival. Outbound I dialed in the 066 degree radial instead of 090 degree radial and began to fly that until ZAB inquired. Reviewing the STAR I was reading the outbound sjn VOR radial (066 degrees) instead of zun. There were no traffic conflicts.
