Narrative:

In my WX briefing, I was advised to contact kingsley approach 35 NM from klamath. I had flight following from ZOA. My passenger, another pilot, and I were both listening for ATC to switch us to ZSE after passing mt shasta. When I called oakland to advise a VFR descent, they said they had called me and I was supposed to be talking to seattle. I switched to seattle who told me to contact kingsley. By the time I contacted kingsley, I was inside their 35 NM area. Although we heard oakland talking to other traffic, we never heard them call me.
