But when the VOA (Voice of America) broadcast anti Castro propaganda from Key West into Cuba via Radio Marti back between 85 and 95, apparently, that was ok. Given the ongoing ineffective 40+ year trade and travel embargo w/ Cuba, one would think tormenting Castro would be promoted via almost any means.

UPDATE: MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) -- Two Miami radio hosts who duped Cuban President Fidel Castro with a prank call are soliciting pennies from their fans to pay a $4,000 fine proposed by U.S. regulators because of the on-air stunt.

Talk radio host Enrique Santos said the fine made no sense, so he and co-host Joe Ferrero plan to pay it with 400,000 cents, delivered in person to the Federal Communications Commission in Washington.
