It is much harder to design a bandpass filter narrow enough to pass the CW portion of a band while blocking the phone band or vice versa. But it is not impossible. Several decades ago the Murphy's Marauders contest club had some giant helical resonators that could do the job. As I recall the 20 meter one was the size of a rural mailbox. It had a knob so you could tune it to frequency.
