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.

Or did You Forget That ?
Is my code that rusty? g
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.
