Narrative:
Departed N07, called cdw tower for clearance. Cleared through control zone. Requested frequency of class B controller and frequency change. Cdw said try 127.6. Called while still in cdw control zone. Controller said contact 119.2. I did. I should have tried 118.1 twice. Contacted 118.1 (mmu) but was programmed to contact 119.2 after attempt. Told 119.2 position and request. He said I was now in mmu control zone, then gave me 'B' clearance. Coordination poor, circumstances programmed me to follow 127.6 controller contact instructions which by then I was in mmu control zone when contact with 119.2.
