- No CW-only subbands
There never have been any "CW-only" subbands on HF.
That's true - but there should be!
Odd, when I was first licensed I could only use CW on 80, 40, 15,
and 10M.
Wonder what kind of subbands those were?
General class and higher licensees can also use the FSK data modes
here.
Thus they are not "CW only."

Now tell me about the Novices.
I don't believe the question was about license class; it was about the
HF amateur spectrum. In that case, there is no exclusive CW anywhere
on HF. On VHF, of course, there is.

Jim, for a whole class of licensees, there absolutely were CW Only
subbands. And if my memory serves, higher class licensees had to
abide by the mode and power restrictions.
Where's Miccolis with his ham history cliff notes?
Look at your FCC rule book. They had to abide by the power restrictions on
15m, 40m, and 80m in the novice subbands but not in the 10m novice subband.
In the 10m novice subband, Generals and higher could use full legal limit.
In all of those novice subbands, they were NOT restricted to the mode
requirements of the novices. READ YOUR RULEBOOK!!! These rules have been
in effect for longer than I have been licensed (1992) and I have copies of
the rule books for this time period.
Dee, the FCC dates back to 1934 and ARRL dates back to 1914.
FCC os 70 this year and ARRL is 90.
Many, many rules have CHANGED in that time.
FCC doesn't use OLD rules for new regulations.
Were there "CW-only subbands" in 1976?
My old 1976 ARRL Handbook says there were.
