Narrative:

On 05/wed/03, I tried to contact clearance via telephone from the ground as there is not a radio frequency from anp. After repeated calls only to get a busy signal I decided to fly out VFR and pick up my clearance in the air. During this time I squawked 1200 and flew straight out over the bay. I thought I was clear of all special airspace. I was later informed that I had strayed into the ADIZ. I am typically a conservative and careful pilot so this came as a surprise and will not happen again.
