 What's the ARRL Section exchange for someone in KHØ?

KH0 is PAC.

I don't think I have worked KH0 in SS before, but KH2 has been on before:

 OK, thanks. I assume Hawaii must account for 99.5% of all PAC contacts in SS. I will get on this weekend between lulls in my work schedule.

I really need to plan CW sweepstakes weekend better.
Some how, I never end up with enough "butt in seat" time. I think I only operated about 7 hours in total.
Had a blast though, even though I only made 82 contacts in 46 sections with my 100 watts & a wire.

Grandpa duties on my grandson's first birthday meant no operating on Saturday. Still, got my first sweep in several years - VY0ERC slowly but steadily handling a massive unruly pileup was number 84, 437 Qs overall.

Worked a good number of stations with CKs starting with 0 or 1 - always good to see.

Conditions on 20/15 were pretty meh, but 40 and 80 are the money bands for East Coasters in SS and the low bands were nice and quiet.

I had a blaster operating at the KH6LC station. While KH6LC was operating a prime propagation band I operated a different band using my call. Even while operating non-premium propagation hours it was a lot of fun running LP to an 80 meter 4-square, 3 ele 40 meter, 5 ele 20 meter and 6 ele 15 meter Yagis at 90 ft.

I wonder if you were the op when I worked KH6LC.  You had good sigs into Colorado (I am pretty sure I worked you on 15, though I later worked another Hawaiian on 20, which surprised me late in the day on Sunday).

I probably worked only 9-10 hours total, with only a little over 2 hours on Saturday night, and then the rest on Sunday.  I worked 205 stations, which isn't that much given that amount of time on the air.  However, it's been years since I tried to be competitive in a contest (probably maybe 20), and I realized that I need to hook up the N1MM software so as to key the transmitter and send CW that way, as opposed to using the transceiver memories.  I briefly called CQ and immediately had my biggest run of stations (otherwise, I searched and pounced), but found that, with the keyboard in the wrong place, and having to type in stuff while hitting the correct memory button on the transceiver, while at the same time sending my number manually, there's just too much to do.  It'll be better next time.

It was fun to get back into a contest, and though I felt really rusty and slow, I started to feel more comfortable as I went along.

That was NH6V you worked. Yes 15m was open to the mainland and I made my last 15m QSO at 0100Z, or 3PM Hawaii time. 100W to 6 elements. It's great you're back contesting and the big one, the CQ WW DX CW, is later this month.

Did the entire contest on 40 meters just for the heck of it.  Wanted to see how many sections I could work on just 1 band.  Probably put in 7 or 8 hours total and worked 70 sections.  Heard ND but he couldn't hear me.  Did work KH6LC and another PAC station, as well as KP2, KP4, VY2 and a few other rare sections.  No NT stations, though.

Yes, I will be in the DX contest.  Before, though, I have to get my N1MM software talking directly to the radio.  I hope I can do that without disturbing Ham Radio Deluxe, since that's how I can control the frequency directly from the computer.

Hope to see you in that contest!
