Didn't you take the Technician license exam, Dan? If so, you should be
able to remember that it does indeed have questions about HF (bands,
sub-bands, propagation, operating considerations, code use, and so on).
After all, Tech Plus license holders, with limited HF privileges, take the
exact same written exam. Some Novice material (also limited HF privileges)
was added to the Tech license exam. Remember any of this? Now, what were
your reasons again for no-code Techs not being qualified to operate HF?
