but , are they blocking other bands ??? all the bands ?? moon bounce ??
hdsm at 5 cm ?? < might not propagate well at all times of the days or years or ever >

40 metres may be targeted because a Cuban ham named Arnie Coro some years ago popularized a 40 metre transceiver design that could be made from a locally available television set . I don’t believe commercial ham radio equipment is readily available in Cuba
