From Appendix L of the FWS's Midway Visitor Services Plan
http://www.fws.gov/midway/vsp.html:
The former amateur radio base station was in the main aircraft hangar,
a building which is in serious disrepair and contains asbestos. A new
but much smaller airport operations building will be constructed in the
near future. We do not believe it would be safe to reopen the former
base station, and no room will be available for a base station in the
new facility.

While doing a little research on the upcoming K4M Midway DXpedition, I
stumbled on the site of the Midway/Kure DX Foundation's K7K K4M
operations circa 1997/8, at http://www.qsl.net/eudxf/stories/k7k.html
(The web page is undated, but refers to the previous 1996 Midway
expedition a 1997 survey)
At the end of the article is this curious little tidbit:
Following Kure, the team returned for a 2-night, one-day stay on Midway
where they made approx. 3,000 QSOs as K4M before returning to Kauai and
onward to their respective homes. As chairman of the Midway-Kure DX
Foundation, Frank AHØW and Yuuji Yoshitani JA3IG/K1NT also worked out an
arrangement with officials on Midway whereby two permanent HF stations
will be installed in Midway's hangar to include two fully-equipped ICOM
HF tions and Force-12, Cushcraft and other antennas. The stations should
be ready beginning the first of 1999.
Whatever happened to those two stations?
