A C337 PVT PLT ENTERS THE R-2934 RESTR AREA OF MERRIT ISLE; COF; WITHOUT CLRNC WHILE ON APCH CTL FREQ WITH JAX; FL.

Narrative

WHILE ENRTE FROM WILMINGTON; NC; TO FORT MYERS; FL; I LOST CONTACT WITH ZJX WHO WAS WITH ME ON FLT FOLLOWING UNDER A VFR FLT PLAN. I HAD PROJECTED THAT MY RTE OF FLT WOULD CARRY ME OVER THE OCEAN AND I WOULD REACH LANDFALL N OF DAYTONA BEACH. DURING MY FLT I LOST CONTACT WITH JAX AND AFTER CALLING AND CALLING; I CALLED GAINESVILLE FSS TO FIND OUT IF I COULD GET ANOTHER FREQ TO REACH JAX ON. I WAS GIVEN 2 FREQS AND TRIED BOTH MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I CALLED GAINESVILLE AGAIN AND WAS GIVEN ANOTHER FREQ AND TRIED THAT ONE; AGAIN I MADE MANY TRIES; WITHOUT SUCCESS. AT THE TIME I WAS AT 10500 FT MSL AND ABOVE A BROKEN TO OVCST CEILING. FINALLY; AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS I REACHED ZJX OR APCH AND MY FLT CONTINUED. I REACHED LAND FAR S OF DAYTONA BEACH; AND MAY HAVE BROKEN INTO CAPE CANAVERAL RESTR AREA; DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS ON JAX APCH; AND WAS NOT TOLD WHERE I WAS. THERE WAS A BROKEN TO OVCST CEILING JUST OFFSHORE AS I APCHED LAND AND I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS. I WAS HANDED OVER TO ZMA WHO TOLD ME TO CALL ORLANDO APCH AND THAT THEY WANTED TO SPEAK TO ME. WHEN I DID; ORLANDO SAID THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY. I BELIEVE I INADVERTENTLY OVERFLEW CAPE CANAVERAL AT 10500 FT VFR ON TOP.
