Re-seat all plug in cables associated with the 20m section of the 
receiver.  Check tightness of any screws that serve to ground the ground 
plane of the board.  Inspect the bandswitch with a strong pen light and 
see if there is obvious corrosion on the switch contacts at the 20m 
setting.  Rotate the switch vigorously from 20 to 40, and 20 to next 
band higher if any doubt.

Many faults that come from a radio sitting unused for a band may lie in 
the above possibilities.
