Narrative:
I was working R-58 at ZJX. I was very busy with usual rush plus dab approach radar was out for scheduled maintenance which means I was working 60 to FL310 instead of 120 to FL310. I had a 'tracker' and a 'D' side. Since I was just notified of this incident by telephone 10 days later, I don't remember the specifics. By listening to the tapes I can surmise that I vectored air carrier X west of course to get several aircraft into orl. I later gave air carrier X a 180 heading. I then handed air carrier X to hobee sector in miami. Air carrier X got within 1/2 mi of the boyle sector's airspace without a pointout. Since it has been so long since the incident I cannot remember telling the tracker or D side to pointout air carrier X to boyle. I suspect that the 'tracker' or 'D' failed to pointout air carrier X to boyle.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING R-58 AT ZJX. I WAS VERY BUSY WITH USUAL RUSH PLUS DAB APCH RADAR WAS OUT FOR SCHEDULED MAINT WHICH MEANS I WAS WORKING 60 TO FL310 INSTEAD OF 120 TO FL310. I HAD A 'TRACKER' AND A 'D' SIDE. SINCE I WAS JUST NOTIFIED OF THIS INCIDENT BY TELEPHONE 10 DAYS LATER, I DON'T REMEMBER THE SPECIFICS. BY LISTENING TO THE TAPES I CAN SURMISE THAT I VECTORED ACR X W OF COURSE TO GET SEVERAL ACFT INTO ORL. I LATER GAVE ACR X A 180 HDG. I THEN HANDED ACR X TO HOBEE SECTOR IN MIAMI. ACR X GOT WITHIN 1/2 MI OF THE BOYLE SECTOR'S AIRSPACE WITHOUT A POINTOUT. SINCE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE THE INCIDENT I CANNOT REMEMBER TELLING THE TRACKER OR D SIDE TO POINTOUT ACR X TO BOYLE. I SUSPECT THAT THE 'TRACKER' OR 'D' FAILED TO POINTOUT ACR X TO BOYLE.
