  <!--#yiv2433802160 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}-->Chris, PA2CHR,

Can I add a couple of comments to add with regards to 2 of the countries that are on your list. ZB2 and 3A. I lived in both countries in the 90s and these were the rules, as I understood them back then.
3A2.  No portable operation. This means no parking at the side of the road and clamping a 23cm yagi to the crowd control barriers to operate.  This leaves you with the options of setting up on the roof of one of the apartment buildings or setting up on the farm. Yes there is/was a farm in 3A2. Imagine a very small vegetable plot in your grandma's back yard....   Having gone through the tower and antenna process with 3A2LU in the late 80's and early 90's I know how hard it can be for a non Monegasque to get permission to put up a permanent tower.  IMO the only real way you will get 3A2  LEGALLY on the air is to contact the local club and get them involved. You may still be restricted to 100w BUT the club may be able to get permission to gain a higher power licence for a Monegasque or a carte de sejour holder to operate. 
ZB2 is far easier. There were some great places to set up out by lighthouse point. We ran EME with 4x19 and 600w from the top of the rock using the clubs radio shack. See pics on my N2EME QRZ page.  The 100w ERP restriction was put in by the local radio club in order to keep the ZB2 callsign rare. They did not want foreigners coming in and operating in and taking the rarity out of the callsign.  A real ZB2 callsign has the same power restrictions as a UK callsign holder. Higher power permission can be gained by getting permission from the head of the Telecommunications office.  I obtained such permission in the 90's to run whatever power levels we wanted on 2m EME. I dd this by popping into his office and asking. His reply was "I am just a paper pusher. Do whatever you want just do not interfere with the military."  So ZB2 is very doable. You just need a real ZB2 call not a reciprocal licence. Again you need to get ZB2BU club to put on the event. This may be easier as there is at least one very active 6m station on who may be able to help. 
With both of these you will have to take a back seat to the locals and just show the which buttons to push. It is their home so they make the rules.
Just my thoughts from having lived in both "countries" as both are considered countries from a radio perspective.

Hi Paul and others,

There is  a good list with most wanted DXCC's  :  MWDCXX on:
http://www.mmmonvhf.de/dxcc.php
And a second list for most wanted squares : http://www.mmmonvhf.de/emws.php

Please add what you want to work on these list's, hi...   You need to log
in, but it is very easy.
Organizers of DX peditions use this list's as a help to see what  DXCC's
and/or Squares are good to activate.

About your questions:
3A  is very difficult for EME because of limited space and power
restrictions (100W on 144 MHz), sometimes one gets an permission......
GD / GJ / GU / LX  are easy to activate, it is just lack of activity and
people has to go there.
ZB2  is also very difficult, same restrictions as 3A, no permissions for
higher power so far :-(

Best 73's,

Chris, PA2CHR

Hello EME'ers,

To my friends in Europe - I  have a wish list for 2M EME DXCC entities
that might be activated this summer.   I know that DXpeditions are
always hard work and there have been several very big activation for very
rare DXCC locations.  Always exciting.

It would be helpful to EME OPS outside Europe if a few 1 or 2 day DXPs
activated DXCCs that we don't see QRV often but can be reach by car or a
short trip.

I don't know if there a difficult regulatory issues with these DXCCs - but
here is my list:

3A - Monaco
GD - Isle of Man
GJ - Jersey
GU - Guernsey
LX - Luxembourg
ZB2 - Gibraltar

In exchange, I can DXP US States within driving distance of my FN20 QTH.  I
have equipment for 2M and 23cm.  I have done 2 trips to
Connecticut for 2M EME - I can do this again if helpful.   I have
plans to activate Delaware on 23cm with a 1.8M dish and 150w.

Good luck to everyone involved in the Bouvet Island 2M EME effort.
I'm counting the days.

73 - Paul - W2HRO
