Has anyone been able to contact a Hawaii station during a low western pass of an FM satellite?

Last year, AE5PH worked KH6/N7AGF from around Dallas TX on AO-91. Two months ago I worked AL6D/KH6 on SO-50 from Southern Arizona.

Fernando, I think we're on the same wavelength! :)

Bob,
I had a QSO last year with Alex N7AGF via AO-91 while he was roving in Hawaii: CALL:5N7AGF BAND:470CM MODE:2FM <QSO_DATE:8>20180304 <TIME_ON:6>212335 <BAND_RX:2>2M <PROP_MODE:3>SAT <SAT_NAME:5>AO-91 GRIDSQUARE:4BK29 MYGRIDSQUARE:4EM12 <EOR> Alex was at BK29gq on a saddle at 6000 feet near Mauna Kea. I was at EM12ek on top of a hill overlooking Granbury, Texas. For Alex, AO-91 was at about 1 degree above the horizon. For me, it was about 0.5 degrees above the horizon. The distance was around 3643 miles (5864 km). It is the longest DX I've ever made by satellite and a wonderful experience!
