Yes, it is possible to get Hawaii on FM satellites from the US West Coast
or west of the Rockies.  Robert NH7WN, who just posted here on the -BB
recently, is the first satellite QSO for many.  His e-mail address as listed
on QRZ.com (the same address he uses to post here) is good, and he
has been very good at making schedules to work stations on the mainland.
He is also very good at getting QSL cards out to the stations he works.

Good luck with that, and maybe I will hear you on Saturday from a hamfest
in the morning and wherever I end up later in the day.

73!
