My recollection is that during the first Cuban crisis the Fed's bought  radio 
time on several stations at night for propaganda programming.
 
The second Cuban crisis was the night they turned on several high powers in  
english and jammed 610 kHz. with high power signals,  probably using Radio  
Habana's high power from 600 kHz., to influence a vote in Congress regarding  
Cuban interference.
 
It did work congress put off the vote.   610, Birmingham, 610  Houston, 610 
Miami, 610 Charlotte were all messed up within their primary  coverage areas.   
 
Terrorism on the radio.
