Propagation Summary :: 14.0 - 14.35 MHz (20m)

The 20 meter band is traditionally regarded as the amateurs’ primary long-haul DX favorite.
Regardless of the 11-year solar cycle, 20 meters can be depended on for at least a few hours of worldwide F2 propagation during the day.
During  solar maximum periods, 20 meters will often stay open to distant locations throughout the night. Skip distance is usually appreciable and is always present to some degree.
Daytime E layer propagation may be detected along very short paths.
Atmospheric noise is not a serious consideration, even in the summer. Because of its popularity, 20 meters tends to be very congested during the daylight hours.
