Narrative:
Due to 'over' dependence on argus moving map to keep me out of restr areas. The argus came up blank after takeoff and I blundered into fort knox's restr area. When sdf approach control informed me of my mistake, they gave me a vector to exit as quickly as I could, but the damage was done.
