As I read the text, the "shall" operative words are: "Amateur operators
shall ensure that their emissions do not occupy more than 2.8 kHz
centered on each of these center frequencies." This is consistent with
the ruling for each ~2.8kHz wide SSB transmitted signal to be within the
five 2.8kHz allocated channels.
Therefore, if above is the actual CW ruling, CW is not necessarily
channeled, it's more like having five 2.8kHz CW bands within the 60M
allocation. There is even room for split operation.
Using CW will be easy, for the first allocation, set your VFO to any
frequency within the range of 5330.6 and 5333.4 and go!
