Nope. I was licensed as a Novice from November 1975-1977, and during
that time there was lots of low-speed CW - VFO controlled, and during
the summer of 1976, power levels went to 200 watts PEP.
I think end of Novice activity came when the no-code Technician was
adopted.
Hopefully, the FCC will get around to passing the new regulations and
Novices and Tech's with CW will be able to use the majority of the CW
bands on 80, 40 and 15m, just like it was in the old-old days before
incentive licensing.
