Is it legal for Cuban citizens to communicate with US hams ?

It is legal. However, there is an unwritten ham radio rule that you do
not talk politics or religion over the air. No doubt this is especially
true for Cuban hams. :-)

I've worked numerous Cubans on CW, RTTY and even heard Eduardo, CO8LY,
as we were both trying to contact the MIR space station on packet radio.
(Yes, I got through to MIR and have the QSL to prove it. Eduardo did not
get them on that pass.)
