Narrative:
Penetrated cuban airspace prior to making contact with havana center. Departed gcm on flight plan: proceeded on course: apparently not in radar contact but radio contact with gcm control. First time at gcm and failed to note close proximity to cuban airspace. Problem arose due to unfamiliarity and inattention to detail. Contributing factor was non radar environment and no instructions from gcm air traffic control. Discovered by checking chart. Contacted havana center who gave several frequency changes. .
