John,
I worked N7AGF via AO91 while he was in Hawaii in March this year. He was in BK29gq and I was in EM12ek for the QSO. The pass was about 0.5 degrees maximum elevation for myself and a couple of degree for him. The pass lasted about three minutes but I could hear him well as soon as AO91 was at AOS. That QSO is still the longest QSO I have ever done! Unfortunately, it was outside of my WAS radius for my QTH in EM12px, so I couldn't count it for that. There have been passes of AO91 that could work from EM12px but I have not been working on arranging a sked. I'm afraid there are no passes available for me during the dates you are in Hawaii.

Just a reminder ...... I will be in Hawaii December 3 - 14 and will on two islands, Oahu and Maui. I hope to rove BL01, BL10 and BL11. The Hawaiian Islands appear to have ten (10) different grids and I hope I could work all of them. I can only work FM satellites AO91 and AO92. I will also listen for Lilisat-2 but haven't any success in my home Grids of CN87. Has anyone worked Hawaii from the West Coast? I will be trying from Bellows AFS or the Pali Lookout or another spot on Oahu with some of the low east (for me) facing orbits.
