Default 20meter propagation question...

Greetings. I've only been a ham for a couple years. Not really done anything
w/ it however. Just homebrewed a thing or two, but never made any QSO's. I
just acquired a 5w 20m rig (all my budget could allow).
Can someone give me any tips on how to know when 20m is open? What time of
year or time of day is typically good for 20?


As a **VERY** general rule 20m is open pretty much every day pretty much
all day long and an hour or two into the evening.

(many nights it will stay open considerably later)
