US hams traditionally had frequency-restrictions on the basis of their license-class, which didn't always mesh well with non-US license-conditions [they had 7.1-7.2MHz and 3.8-4.0MHz which were denied to us Europeans].

Knowing if the person you're trying to work was a "Technician" or "Extra"-class licensee was historically important when suggesting frequencies.
