Nope. The Novice was the entry level license prior to 1991.
Because the
privileges focus so much on VHF/UHF, the entry path for many new hams
shifted from HF to VHF/UHF.
Post 1991.
And to many new hams, ham radio became
more
locally-oriented than regionally-, nationally- or
internationally-oriented.
Heaven forbid an entry level license that's internationally-oriented!
It's been said that Advanced licensees have a "problem" where DX
chasing is concerned.
