The island is one that I need on CW. Did some research (see http://great-hikes.com/blog/island-for-sale/ ) and I wonder if it will ever be activated because of contamination.The island and military facility/airstrip are now closed and vacant. It was (accidentally I believe) up for sale but was taken off the market shortly thereafter.
Reports from personnel who served on the island (see url above) tell of agent orange, plutonium, other chemicals etc that were sent to the island for disposal. Additionally there was a nuclear missile test that failed dropping nuclear waste on the island.

The island was left to the birds but has visitors from passing vessels from time to time. I do not know how contaminated the island is but apparently there are no restrictions to visitors sailing by.
So the questions are (1) when was the last time KH3 was on the air? And (2) what is the possibility of a dxpedition there in the immediate future?

KH3 - Johnston Island
KK7L, John Mitton, says the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is looking for
volunteers to work on Johnston for six months at a time.
John says it’s hard work and the living conditions are primitive.
A U.S. passport is required and the application deadline is March 16:
