20 and 10 meters are the same here as the US, so I don't have the problem.
The problem that I have is that except for contest weekends nobody seems
to be out there. :-(

Are you sure you're calling at the right time of day? Anytime I hear a 4X1
station there's a pile up so deep that it takes real finesse to get through!
If you don't want to deal with pileups, just answer one person and let
everyone know that you are interested in a ragchew only. Or just wait and
answer some one else's CQ although that does take a little patience as so
many people just listen instead of call.
