According to 2004 survey results published in the January/February issue of
The DX Magazine http://www.dxpub.com/, North Korea (P5) remains atop DXers'
"most-wanted" lists for DXCC.

"It was a real surprise to see North Korea at the top of the most-wanted
list," commented The Daily DX http://www.dailydx.com/ Editor Bernie
McClenny, W3UR. The most-recent P5 operation was by Ed Giorgadze, P5/4L4FN,
in 2001 and 2002, during which he logged more than 16,000 QSOs.

Number two on the list is Andaman and Nicobar Islands (VU4), although a
post-survey DXpedition in December likely diminished worldwide demand,
despite being cut short by the tsunami.

In third place--but topping the list in four US time zones--was Scarborough
Reef (BS7). Fourth is Lakshadweep (VU7), and fifth is Yemen (7O). A
DXpedition set for this month from number six Peter Island (3Y/P) could
blunt demand for that rare one. Rounding out the top 10 are Navassa Island
(KP1) and Desecheo Island (KP5), both under jurisdiction of the US Fish and
Wildlife Service which has denied visitation permission, Bouvet (3Y/B) and
Kure Island (KH7K).

McClenny, who also edits "How's DX?" for QST, notes there's still a large
demand for VU4, but he expressed guarded optimism that the VU4RBI/VU4NRO
DXpedition's emergency communication operation following the December 29
earthquake and tsunami would make Indian authorities more willing to allow
future DXpeditions. "Keep you fingers crossed," he said.
