Narrative:

I filed a flight plan with altoona FSS and got a standard WX brief along with the pertinent NOTAMS. I then departed bvi. When I had jyo in sight; I canceled IFR and switched to 122.975 per potomac's instructions. Later that day I filed a flight plan back to bfi and did it in the leesburg FSS. I was given the following clearance: cleared bvi via still intersection then as filed. Climb to 3000 ft. Departure frequency 125.05; squawk XXXX. As I was looking for still intersection on my low en route chart; I dialed in the squawk code and turned on my transponder. I could not find still intersection on my low en route chart and called clearance delivery for clarification. They told me it was straight out runway 35. I found still intersection on my approach plate; dialed in the proper radial from martinsburg and frederick; got a release and departed jyo. I was on edge because I could not find still intersection on the low en route. After about 10 mins I called 118.55 for verification that I had reached still intersection and wanted to proceed on course to hagerstown VOR. I was told to call 125.05 when able and they were 'looking for me.' during the early part of my flight; the squawk code was read to me and I believe I verified that I was squawking the correct number. They did not tell me that they could not see me. I called 125.05 and was told to call them 'when able.' within a few mins; I called them back and they gave me a phone number to call when on the ground. I believe they told me that they could not see me. I then turned the transponder off and back on immediately and I don't remember whether they confirmed they could see me. When I got on the ground and called; I was told that I was 'a primary target' and that I would be sent a package in 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure what the problem is; but I can tell you that I was somewhat on edge when not being able to locate still intersection on my government chart. After research; I did determine that still is called lucke on the chart and is the same location as the approach plate indicates is still intersection.

Title: CONFUSED BY HIS IFR CLRNC; SINGLE PLT OF C182 VIOLATES DC ADIZ WITH A MALFUNCTIONING; IMPROPERLY OPERATED XPONDER.

Narrative: I FILED A FLT PLAN WITH ALTOONA FSS AND GOT A STANDARD WX BRIEF ALONG WITH THE PERTINENT NOTAMS. I THEN DEPARTED BVI. WHEN I HAD JYO IN SIGHT; I CANCELED IFR AND SWITCHED TO 122.975 PER POTOMAC'S INSTRUCTIONS. LATER THAT DAY I FILED A FLT PLAN BACK TO BFI AND DID IT IN THE LEESBURG FSS. I WAS GIVEN THE FOLLOWING CLRNC: CLRED BVI VIA STILL INTXN THEN AS FILED. CLB TO 3000 FT. DEP FREQ 125.05; SQUAWK XXXX. AS I WAS LOOKING FOR STILL INTXN ON MY LOW ENRTE CHART; I DIALED IN THE SQUAWK CODE AND TURNED ON MY XPONDER. I COULD NOT FIND STILL INTXN ON MY LOW ENRTE CHART AND CALLED CLRNC DELIVERY FOR CLARIFICATION. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS STRAIGHT OUT RWY 35. I FOUND STILL INTXN ON MY APCH PLATE; DIALED IN THE PROPER RADIAL FROM MARTINSBURG AND FREDERICK; GOT A RELEASE AND DEPARTED JYO. I WAS ON EDGE BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND STILL INTXN ON THE LOW ENRTE. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS I CALLED 118.55 FOR VERIFICATION THAT I HAD REACHED STILL INTXN AND WANTED TO PROCEED ON COURSE TO HAGERSTOWN VOR. I WAS TOLD TO CALL 125.05 WHEN ABLE AND THEY WERE 'LOOKING FOR ME.' DURING THE EARLY PART OF MY FLT; THE SQUAWK CODE WAS READ TO ME AND I BELIEVE I VERIFIED THAT I WAS SQUAWKING THE CORRECT NUMBER. THEY DID NOT TELL ME THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ME. I CALLED 125.05 AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THEM 'WHEN ABLE.' WITHIN A FEW MINS; I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL WHEN ON THE GND. I BELIEVE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ME. I THEN TURNED THE XPONDER OFF AND BACK ON IMMEDIATELY AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHETHER THEY CONFIRMED THEY COULD SEE ME. WHEN I GOT ON THE GND AND CALLED; I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS 'A PRIMARY TARGET' AND THAT I WOULD BE SENT A PACKAGE IN 2-3 WKS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROB IS; BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT I WAS SOMEWHAT ON EDGE WHEN NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCATE STILL INTXN ON MY GOV CHART. AFTER RESEARCH; I DID DETERMINE THAT STILL IS CALLED LUCKE ON THE CHART AND IS THE SAME LOCATION AS THE APCH PLATE INDICATES IS STILL INTXN.
