Narrative:

I had just departed runway 6 at stinson field (ssf) south of sat class C airspace, after the tower had closed for the day. After turning downwind and announcing departure on the CTAF, I attempted to contact sat approach on the published frequency of 118.05. I finally was told to go to another frequency and upon doing so received a squawk. Shortly thereafter I was informed that I was in kelley's airspace. I asked if action was needed, and was told that he was contacting them on the phone. I was not familiar with the area, and should not have counted on receiving radar service so soon after departure. I probably could have contacted approach while on the ground at ssf and would have avoided this airspace invasion.

Title: PLT OF A CESSNA 210 ENTERED CLASS D AIRSPACE WHILE DEPARTING NEARBY ARPT.

Narrative: I HAD JUST DEPARTED RWY 6 AT STINSON FIELD (SSF) S OF SAT CLASS C AIRSPACE, AFTER THE TWR HAD CLOSED FOR THE DAY. AFTER TURNING DOWNWIND AND ANNOUNCING DEP ON THE CTAF, I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SAT APCH ON THE PUBLISHED FREQ OF 118.05. I FINALLY WAS TOLD TO GO TO ANOTHER FREQ AND UPON DOING SO RECEIVED A SQUAWK. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I WAS INFORMED THAT I WAS IN KELLEY'S AIRSPACE. I ASKED IF ACTION WAS NEEDED, AND WAS TOLD THAT HE WAS CONTACTING THEM ON THE PHONE. I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE COUNTED ON RECEIVING RADAR SVC SO SOON AFTER DEP. I PROBABLY COULD HAVE CONTACTED APCH WHILE ON THE GND AT SSF AND WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS AIRSPACE INVASION.
