Sat maybe on call, peak time (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heyday

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sat' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'maybe on call peak time' is the wordplay.
'maybe on call peak' becomes 'hey' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'time' becomes 'day' (day is a kind of time).
'hey'+'day'='HEYDAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heyday that I've seen before include "One's peak period" , "Period of one's greatest success" , "The flush of vigour, health etc." , "Successful period" , "Time of greatest popularity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
