There never have been any "CW-only" subbands on HF.

That's true

No. It isn't. You and Kelly are wrong. There was a whole class of
amateur that was allowed nothing but CW on HF, and other hams had to
abide by mode and power limits of those subbands.

- but there should be!

Ask the FCC to make you a Novice and you can have all the CW you can
stomach in what Hans calls the "novice ghetto." Maybe some benevolent
Extra will come along and give you a pity QSO. Hi, hi!

Sorry but you are wrong. Although Novices were restricted to CW only in
limited subbands, Generals and higher could operate FSK in those same
portions of the spectrum. Check your FCC rule book.

Huh. The "Novice ghetto" is where I go to listen to slow code for
practicing purposes. It's also where I've had my single successful CW
QSO -- with a long-time ham who was willing to be patient with me.

Sounds like a nicer place than lots of other chunks of the ham bands,
and a hell of a lot nicer than here, if you ask me.

HeeHeeHee!

You don't even know the difference between a mode and a set of operating priveleges.

Nitwit.
