Narrative:
Flight departed runway 7 VFR, directed right turn to 220 degree heading and contact departure. After 4 tries departure finally responded and told me to stay clear class B until further instructions. Elapsed time, 3 mins before picking up my IFR clearance and departure through class B. (Unknown whether or not a violation occurred on given heading and altitude.) controller was busy at time, but seemingly not that busy. After getting IFR en route clearance balance of flight was uneventful.
