It is largely illegal, but as AlGore opined, there's no controlling legal authority.
(The UN, but it is no controlling legal authority.)
It'd be even more insulting if the jamming was coming from somewhere in the US.
Hope we find it soon.
And level it.

It is the uplink frequency that is being jammed
This uplink freq has to be jammed from a geographic
location very near the US... this is because the receiving
dish on the sat is spotted on the center of the US.
Cuba is near enough... but they would still be several DB down and so would need considerable wattage to block a US uplink to the sat... so they must be pouring it on bigtime.
The US knows exactly where the signal is coming from... to within yards!
I'm not sure how much uplink signal the bird can stand and remain stable... but I suggest uplinking the feeds from the US with a 100' dish with very narrow beamwidth and at least 100kw... this will up the ante considerably
of course to disrupt an uplink you only need to corrupt a tiny portion of the signal..so the cubans can pour everything they have into a very narrow bandwidth :-(
