no-code-test Technicians in the FCC ham database.
That's a

Incorrect!
Since April 15, 2004 (4 years ago as of this coming Thursday), FCC has been
renewing all Technician Plus licenses as Technician. In addition, any
Technician who has passed Element 1 gets Novice/Technician Plus HF privileges
even though the license and database still say "Technician".
So a sizable number of those with Technician licenses *do* have some access to
four HF ham bands.
