Illegal? That's how many SSB rigs created "CW" for years - feed a keyed
audio signal into the SSB audio channel. 

As long as the opposite sideband and carrier suppression are good, the end
result is as much a CW signal as any other CW signal - a simple keyed RF
carrier. 

Are you perhaps thinking of MCW produced by transmitting a keyed audio tone
over a double-sideband full-carrier A.M. transmitter? That has always been
limited to the Amateur "phone" bands and would be extremely unwelcome and
illegal on the Amateur CW bands.

At one time that was illegal - is it still?
