When the 20m band is open, US and CDA East coast usually* comes on stream from around 2pm UK time (08.00h US east coast).

Texas and mid-west come on stream several hours later.

Even at solar minima I'm sometimes able to work USA on 20m at 5-10w power (CW) using only simple antennas.

Over the holidays is a good time to listen for openings to UK as there is usually a lot of Ham activity from Christmas to New Year.

*Usually but not always :-)
