Narrative:
I was flying a PA28-140. Teb radar just terminated the radar service and I turned south over the hudson river. After reporting my position on the CTAF, I initiated a left turn. As soon as I lowered my wing I noticed a hovering helicopter at approximately 300 ft below me mid river. I let the helicopter know I had him in sight and turned away. Then I proceeded sbound on the hudson river, jersey side, and heard the helicopter pilot say, 'you guys are really starting to annoy me and I am going to call the FAA.'
