Is there any freq where unlicensed operators can play with cw? I
somewhat remember some frequencies that were setup for this? Also
if you know this where would one start looking for the basic transmitter
setup, antenna, etc.

There are CW operations for Lowfers and Midfers. Mostly these
are beacons, but somewhere they may have two way conversations.
(Google for "Long Wave Club of America").

These are license free bands for relatively low power. Under the US
regulations you can run 1 watt (input power) with 15 meters (50 feet)
of antenna/ground system in the band for 160-190 kHz. Midfers get to
run 100 milliwatts of input power into 3 meters of antenna/ground on
the AM broadcast band 535?-1705 kHz.
