HF privileges were granted in the past by taking a test far less demanding
than the current Technician test.

True, but they were pretty limited otherwise.


And Technicians of the past took the General written test AND a Morse test,
but were not allowed on HF, but they could get a (simultaneous) Novice
license and operate on HF (even though the General written they'd taken for
Technician didn't allow them on HF or 2 meters).

And you new kids think MY licensing proposal is strange!

Hey, I think everything is strange, Hans!
