The R1 bandplan can be found here
http://www.darc.de/bandplan/pdf/kwbandplan_sw_eng_2.pdf
In addition to what Rich said, under the R1 bandplan, 7100-7200 is
listed as "All modes", which I assume would include CW? Nothing I can
see in the bandplan prevents the use of CW in R1 anywhere between
7000-7200. 7000-7025 is just a "preferred" contest segment, not
"mandatory", a bit like the bandplan itself!
