20 meters is wide open into Europe and Asia. Booming S9+ signals. Get them while they last! Grey Line propagation at it's best.

Edited:
The 20m band is wide open. I called CQ and had a pile-up for over an hour. So far, almost 80 SSB DX contacts this morning.

I didn't get on the air until afternoon....but 20m was like shooting fish in a barrel...nothing super exotic by the time I tuned in, but Europe was as easy as hitting the local 2m repeater...heck...much busier now that I think about it

20m was wide awesome last night about 0230Z.

I talked to South Cook Islands from MA with 100 watts on a homebrew inverted V 44 feet off the ground.

He was just about the S5 noise level but we communicated.

11,000 miles.

My furthest reach so far on voice

Couple of nights ago it was E51DWC in the South Cook Islands and E51LYC in the North Cook Islands.   Like fish in a barrel for me out here.  Probably could have got them on an HT.
