Narrative:
During climb out, I was going to do jumping over PA23. I called ZNY numerous times and they said that there was a heavy load of arrs into dulles. As I was climbing, more attempts were given and finally ATC communication was established, but static was present. On my radio, I was getting good reception and xmissions were still possible, but had some static. While listening to ATC, they idented the jump plane from previous phone call ahead of time. Maintain VFR from air carrier's. I further established radio communication by identing on transponder each time the jump plane was called for and added voice on the radio and identify. While under dulles arrs, (9500 ft), made more xmissions and flew jump run. In the meantime, air carrier Y was 1-2 mi away and no factor from our vantage point. ATC reported traffic above, not below with communication by radio and identify. All parties talked afterward and submitted NASA reports.

Title: C182 PARACHUTE JUMP PLT EXPERIENCED POTENTIAL TFC CONFLICT AT 9500 FT, 10 MI N OF DMW WITH IAD ACR ARR ON ZNY FREQ.
Narrative: DURING CLBOUT, I WAS GOING TO DO JUMPING OVER PA23. I CALLED ZNY NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A HVY LOAD OF ARRS INTO DULLES. AS I WAS CLBING, MORE ATTEMPTS WERE GIVEN AND FINALLY ATC COM WAS ESTABLISHED, BUT STATIC WAS PRESENT. ON MY RADIO, I WAS GETTING GOOD RECEPTION AND XMISSIONS WERE STILL POSSIBLE, BUT HAD SOME STATIC. WHILE LISTENING TO ATC, THEY IDENTED THE JUMP PLANE FROM PREVIOUS PHONE CALL AHEAD OF TIME. MAINTAIN VFR FROM ACR'S. I FURTHER ESTABLISHED RADIO COM BY IDENTING ON XPONDER EACH TIME THE JUMP PLANE WAS CALLED FOR AND ADDED VOICE ON THE RADIO AND IDENT. WHILE UNDER DULLES ARRS, (9500 FT), MADE MORE XMISSIONS AND FLEW JUMP RUN. IN THE MEANTIME, ACR Y WAS 1-2 MI AWAY AND NO FACTOR FROM OUR VANTAGE POINT. ATC RPTED TFC ABOVE, NOT BELOW WITH COM BY RADIO AND IDENT. ALL PARTIES TALKED AFTERWARD AND SUBMITTED NASA RPTS.
