Hams have been making contacts with Cuba

for many many years.

Also North Korea recently. No operations at

the moment tho. Their choice - not ours.

For countries Hams can contact see the

DXCC list at URL;

http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/dxcclist.txt

335 entities there -- both countries and

islands, etc -- note that Islands such as Guam

count as an entity.

I am not aware of any country USA Hams are

forbidden to contact including Libya, No

Korea, Cuba, Iran, China, Yemen, etc.

Countries may chose to prohibit Ham

operations -- their choice not ours. Example

Albania and China were off the air for many

years -- but are now allowed. Some countries

have very restricted license issues making

them very rare.

During the cold war, contacts were allowed

with the Soviet Union.

Consider getting a Ham license -- pretty easy

these days -- there is a no-code VHF license

and the HF licenses only require 5 wpm code.

Thank you for your assistance and providing the link that answered my
question. It's been a long time since I visited the rules and regs
concerning this subject as pertaining to ham radio.

Twithed ain't no ham.
