Uh, well sometimes yes but usually not. I suspect you can feel sunlight on your skin, no? Congratulations, that's an "energy wave", and you don't even have to wave your hand. Most people here in 2007 would use the term "electromagnetic radiation", but whatever floats your boat.
If the radiation is powerful enough, yes you can feel it. That's why microwave ovens have shielded doors. But at the same time the air is filled with electromagnetic waves that you definitely cannot feel by waving your hand, such as your local broadcasts of TV and AM/FM radio, cell phone transmissions, starlight, garage door openers, and a million other things. You can't feel 'em at all.

try this--take a large garbage bag. Open it up and run around the room, catching the radio waves in the open end. When you go on vacation to, say, Wyoming, where the signal is bad, you can plug your radio into the bag and listen to tunes.

We have sent many people out to our patio with their hands in front of them, even after beers, and most of them found the same exact spot. So although it is only one experiment, I would have to answer your question with a YES.

Perhaps. Then again we may be too used to them to feel them.
