The matrix elements which affect the shapes of the ..beta.. spectra and the ..beta..-..gamma.. angular correlations are calculated for the /sup 20/F-/sup 20/Na mirror Gamow-Teller decays to the 1634 keV level of /sup 20/Ne. The dominant effects are due to the weak-magnetism and the axial-vector tensor form factors. Matrix elements relevant to the ..beta..-..cap alpha.. correlations for other /sup 20/Na decays are also evaluated, with similar conclusions.
