Oh, I forgot that 20th Century mode, what's it called... hmmm, yes that's it RTTY. Seems that mode is active , I just forgot to check the usual RTTY frequencies. Just saw a complaint that in Europe currently, 20M digital band is "crowded with RTTY in TARA Contest". So, that is good news, there is some activity. RTTY now chirping away in my shack, "CQ CQ TARA TEST YV5AAX".... worked him first try , so band IS open (20M), just not many PSKer's awake yet.
