John KH3/KT6E has been quite active on 10, 15, and 20 meters from Johnston
Island.  He is using the big antenna that was left from the old KJ6BZ
operation.   I worked him on 28601.5 on 10 and 14256 on 20 with good signals
both times.  John is there working as a chemist helping to rid the Island of
the poison chemicals that were stored there from the cold war.  He hopes to
be there about 2 months and has posted his Johnston island mailing address
on QRZ.com. Look up KT6E.  I saw some spots saying QSL via home call but he
was telling me he hoped to get his cards (mail arrives twice a week via C
130) and start QSling from there.  He hopes to be active on all bands either
with the KJ6BZ tri-band beam or with a long wire on 80 to 10 including the
WARC bands.

He points out that the AH3D operation (before he arrived) was not the last
from KH3 and his will also not be the last.  Once the Island is cleaned up
it will join KP1 and KP5 as hard to operate from.

On 20 he was working across the states and into Europe with good success.
