Can someone stateside please advise most listened to frequency on 20 metres AM and best time of day both from a propagation perspective, and also to find someone awake Smiley

Still looking for the best time to attempt AM  Pacific NW USA to Australia...  The grey line map shows about equal sunshine on both sides at around 2400Z....20 M has not been the best of late...Any suggestions for a path OZ->PAC NW ??
