Narrative:
We (my wife and I) departed N57 (new garden, PA) on an IFR flight plan. Clearance was direct modena, climb and maintain 3000 ft, expect 7000 ft in 10 mins. We passed modena and I attempted to explain and resolve a problem tuning the LORAN. Next thing I knew I was approaching 4000 ft and asked if I could stay at 4000 ft or did they want me back at 3000 ft. ATC advised to stay at 4000 ft but that wasn't where I was supposed to be.
