Narrative:

I called flight service filed an ADIZ flight plan and proceeded to call my TRACON for discrete beacon code. Upon takeoff I circled the airport until I was in communication with ATC. At this point I informed the controller that I was airborne and squawking the appropriate code. It was an extremely busy day for ATC. The controller replied that he acknowledged my presence and that there would be no radar service at that time. He also informed me to stay clear of class B airspace. He did not tell me to stay out of the ADIZ. I replied that I would remain clear of class B airspace. I then proceeded with my planned flight to an airport inside of the ADIZ as was my departure airport. I remained clear of the class B at all times and monitored the ATC frequency. I did not hear my numbers called. When I arrived at my destination the ground controller said I was told to call TRACON. I phoned TRACON and was scolded by the man on the other end. I explained to him the chain of events and said I felt that I did not do anything wrong. At that point he said he would reprimand the controller. On the return trip home the flight was uneventful and was with ATC for the duration. If I was not wanted inside the ADIZ the controller should have said stay clear of the ADIZ not just class B as I did.
