Narrative:

While on a VFR climb out of philadelphia, en route to bridgeport, ct, an large transport reported to new york center that he almost 'ran over an light transport' -- me. As I looked out my left window and low I saw the large transport passing under me. Although I was VFR I did have my mode C on. The controller should have informed the large transport that I was at 12 O'clock and climbing. At this particular location washington center and new york center meet, and I believe that no one in that area will accept responsibility for a VFR target.
