Those are NOT FCC regs. No you may use CW between 7000 - 7125 and if you are an Extra you can use it from 7000 - 7300 kHz.
These are recommendations form a radio club. NOTHING more. However, ARRL has a lot of sway with the FCC and i don't want to see them destroy 7100 - 7125 any more than they already have by promoting the use of RTTY there! It is not a band plan to push for bad practices!
