Narrative:

I filed IFR to leave gai which is in the dc ADIZ. The rco 121.6 was inoperative, unable to get leesburg FSS on cell phone. I believed I could pick up my ADIZ squawk from potomac TRACON while still below the class B. When I contacted the TRACON I was told 'no 1200 squawks in the ADIZ.' I was given a number to call and instructed to land. I contacted the TRACON, gave them name, address, phone number and then picked up my clearance and code. I believed that a valid IFR on file would allow me to take off and get my code in the air as soon as I contacted the TRACON.
