It looks like I wasn't attentive. :(

 WvV> It is defined in FTS-5001! In section: "5.6. Mail Period Flags"

5.6. Mail Period Flags
----------------------

  The Mail Period Flags indicate compliance with another zone's ZMH.
  Since ZMH is mandatory within one's own zone, it is not indicated.

  These flags have the form "#nn" or !nn where nn is the UTC hour the
  mail period begins, # indicates Bell 212A compatibility, and !
  indicates incompatibility with Bell 212A.  For example:

    Flag   Meaning

    #02    Zone 2 mail hour (02:30 - 03:30 UTC)
    #08    Zone 4 mail hour (08:00 - 09:00 UTC)
    #09    Zone 1 mail hour (09:00 - 10:00 UTC)
    #17    Zone 3 mail hour (17:00 - 18:00 UTC)

  The above listing of the ZMH for each individual zone is only given
  for your convenience. It was correct at the time of this writing,
  but could be changed at any time by following the procedures
  established in Fidonet policy. The FTSC has no role in determining
  the Mail Hour of any Zone. You'll find an up-to-date list in the
  comments at the end of the Fidonet Nodelist.

  NOTE:  When applicable, the mail period flags may be strung together
  with no intervening commas, e.g. "#02#09".

Nothing about #20.

Have a nice night.
