Has anyone here had contact with people in Cuba? It just dawned on me that with their internet locked down by Communist overlords, news is probably tough to smuggle out.
 
There were people on 40m talking to them as soon as the protests began. However, within a few days the jammers they typically aim at Radio Martí changed frequencies and started jamming parts of 40m!

 
The operating operators in Cuba are Very Well Known
to the communist dictatorship.


As long as the Party Faithful employed as government radio monitors
are still able to get paid for sitting behind a desk,
as opposed to being handed a truncheon and told to augment some riot squad
busting heads in a slum, then the hams are not going to risk
their lives transmitting information unflattering to the regime.

Hell, if the expats in Florida look like they're illegally broadcasting to Cuba
instead of engaging in 2-way communications,
they risk the FCC going FR on them.

Especially if Biden* wants to do his part to squash
the counterrevolution on behalf of the dictatorship.
 
I heard and saw this story many places. But why just 40meter? Or does that jam the rest of the bands up?
 
Why do they need a radio,most everyone in CUBA has a cell phone sent by us.
