I've heard no 20 meter AM activity on Mondays as of late--band conditions seem decent.

I'll call CQ next week and see if I can stir up some activity.

Twenty meter AM on a day other than Monday--heresy!  You pose a good question, which I cannot answer.  My only response is I haven't heard AM on 20 meters on days/times other than Monday evening/late afternoon for years.

I generally get on 20 meters AM on the weekends around 14.330. Haven't been on Monday nights for many months. Generally then it's a roundtable; half the stations I can't hear, and some ramble on "old buzzard" style on a band whose propagation tends to vary very quickly at times. I find one-on-one type contacts far more enjoyable and far less aggravating.

Exactly. Hello Pete! 14.330 is where I was at. I'll try later today around 5pm central time from College Station, TX with the Valiant & the Vee beam :D.

Have you had luck making contacts on 20?

  Can we agree on 14.330 as the official frequency to tune up and call CQ?  If occupied, move up.  I plan to be there today.
