Narrative:

The problem is that I penetrated the coastal ADIZ without a transponder code. The problem arose when I was told to 'stand by' by a controller while en route from an international departure. The problem was compounded when my flight plan was not relayed from freeport flight service to miami flight service. Filed an international flight plan, in person, at freeport FSS with the attendant on duty. I filed direct to fxe at 6500 ft. I departed freeport international, started a climb to 6500 ft on a heading of approximately 260 degrees. Shortly after crossing the shoreline of the grand bahama island I tried to contact miami radio on 122.4. No contact was made, so I switched to frequency 133.4 and attempted to contact miami radio. On initial contact I was answered with 'xyz, stand by.' at this point I was approximately 60 NM from fxe on the 80 degree radial. After about 10 mins I called miami radio again and was given a transponder code. I was approximately 40 NM from fxe on the 80 degree radial. Shortly thereafter miami radio called with 'xyz, radar contact 50 mi west of freeport.' miami radio relayed a message for me to call ZMA once I was on the ground. ZMA advised me that I had penetrated the ADIZ before I had received a transponder code and was in violation. I was in contact with miami radio before I penetration the ADIZ, and was acknowledged with my tail number, but told to 'stand by.' had the controller given me a transponder code I would not have been in violation.

Title: PVT PLT IN SMA PENETRATES THE COASTAL ADIZ WITHOUT ATC HAVING RECEIVED A FLT PLAN. IT HAD BEEN FILED WITH FREEPORT FSS BUT WASN'T FORWARDED. RPTR TOLD TO 'STAND BY' ON INITIAL RADIO CALL BUT HE PROCEEDS INTO ADIZ WITHOUT A XPONDER CODE.

Narrative: THE PROB IS THAT I PENETRATED THE COASTAL ADIZ WITHOUT A XPONDER CODE. THE PROB AROSE WHEN I WAS TOLD TO 'STAND BY' BY A CTLR WHILE ENRTE FROM AN INTL DEP. THE PROB WAS COMPOUNDED WHEN MY FLT PLAN WAS NOT RELAYED FROM FREEPORT FLT SVC TO MIAMI FLT SVC. FILED AN INTL FLT PLAN, IN PERSON, AT FREEPORT FSS WITH THE ATTENDANT ON DUTY. I FILED DIRECT TO FXE AT 6500 FT. I DEPARTED FREEPORT INTL, STARTED A CLB TO 6500 FT ON A HDG OF APPROX 260 DEGS. SHORTLY AFTER XING THE SHORELINE OF THE GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND I TRIED TO CONTACT MIAMI RADIO ON 122.4. NO CONTACT WAS MADE, SO I SWITCHED TO FREQ 133.4 AND ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT MIAMI RADIO. ON INITIAL CONTACT I WAS ANSWERED WITH 'XYZ, STAND BY.' AT THIS POINT I WAS APPROX 60 NM FROM FXE ON THE 80 DEG RADIAL. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS I CALLED MIAMI RADIO AGAIN AND WAS GIVEN A XPONDER CODE. I WAS APPROX 40 NM FROM FXE ON THE 80 DEG RADIAL. SHORTLY THEREAFTER MIAMI RADIO CALLED WITH 'XYZ, RADAR CONTACT 50 MI W OF FREEPORT.' MIAMI RADIO RELAYED A MESSAGE FOR ME TO CALL ZMA ONCE I WAS ON THE GND. ZMA ADVISED ME THAT I HAD PENETRATED THE ADIZ BEFORE I HAD RECEIVED A XPONDER CODE AND WAS IN VIOLATION. I WAS IN CONTACT WITH MIAMI RADIO BEFORE I PENETRATION THE ADIZ, AND WAS ACKNOWLEDGED WITH MY TAIL NUMBER, BUT TOLD TO 'STAND BY.' HAD THE CTLR GIVEN ME A XPONDER CODE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN VIOLATION.
