20m SSB in the early evening usually gets me HAMS in Italy and the rest of europe as well as folks as far away as Hawaii in the other direction that would be 14150-14350 khz USB

You wont find them there now, but listen just before and after sunset

Yes. From the West coast I worked Hawaii a lot on 20 in the early eves. And Maritime mobiles in the Pacific.

I don't have a good antenna up yet here in NM but I still hear the Pacific sometimes as far as Japan and more of Europe than on the West coast.

The much discussed and cussed G5RV is great on 20M but alas, there is no room for it on the 20’ patio at my present temporary quarters. My vertical is full size on the band but the radial arrangement is a compromise.

I am seriously considering dropping some coin on a GAP Titan, but a remote autocoupler for the present vertical just might be a better investment.
