Narrative:

Returning from srq, I stopped at fkn to refuel and file a VFR flight plan by telephone to my base at daw and request a clearance through the nyc tfr. I requested to enter through rbv VOR and exit at cmk VOR. I had been given these entry/exit points by the nyc FSS on my way south on 03/tue/03. The jyo FSS briefer asked when I could expect to be at rbv VOR. I told him 2 hours. He also cleared me to psm VOR because he could not find daw. I contacted orf approach who were anticipating me on 127.9. I was given a squawk code 563. I was handed to washington center and then to nyc center on 118.97 at rbv VOR. I was hand over to 126.7, the controller there said, 'oh is that you at rbv' and told me to 'squawk 1200.' I tried to speak, but he was busy and never replied. I had heard him speak to other aircraft saying cmk VOR was outside his airspace. As I entered near cmk I requested a handoff and was given 120.55. The new controller asked if I knew I had entered the tfr. I was given a new squawk code and explained the sequence of events. He was not aware of my destination, although orf approach and washington center were. I was followed by an F16 to bradley, and then proceeded to daw.

Narrative: RETURNING FROM SRQ, I STOPPED AT FKN TO REFUEL AND FILE A VFR FLT PLAN BY TELEPHONE TO MY BASE AT DAW AND REQUEST A CLRNC THROUGH THE NYC TFR. I REQUESTED TO ENTER THROUGH RBV VOR AND EXIT AT CMK VOR. I HAD BEEN GIVEN THESE ENTRY/EXIT POINTS BY THE NYC FSS ON MY WAY S ON 03/TUE/03. THE JYO FSS BRIEFER ASKED WHEN I COULD EXPECT TO BE AT RBV VOR. I TOLD HIM 2 HOURS. HE ALSO CLRED ME TO PSM VOR BECAUSE HE COULD NOT FIND DAW. I CONTACTED ORF APCH WHO WERE ANTICIPATING ME ON 127.9. I WAS GIVEN A SQUAWK CODE 563. I WAS HANDED TO WASHINGTON CTR AND THEN TO NYC CTR ON 118.97 AT RBV VOR. I WAS HAND OVER TO 126.7, THE CTLR THERE SAID, 'OH IS THAT YOU AT RBV' AND TOLD ME TO 'SQUAWK 1200.' I TRIED TO SPEAK, BUT HE WAS BUSY AND NEVER REPLIED. I HAD HEARD HIM SPEAK TO OTHER ACFT SAYING CMK VOR WAS OUTSIDE HIS AIRSPACE. AS I ENTERED NEAR CMK I REQUESTED A HANDOFF AND WAS GIVEN 120.55. THE NEW CTLR ASKED IF I KNEW I HAD ENTERED THE TFR. I WAS GIVEN A NEW SQUAWK CODE AND EXPLAINED THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS. HE WAS NOT AWARE OF MY DEST, ALTHOUGH ORF APCH AND WASHINGTON CTR WERE. I WAS FOLLOWED BY AN F16 TO BRADLEY, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO DAW.
