The O.P. stated that after recieving a beacon code and being told to
remain clear the controller then called him back and asked some
questions. That sounds like he was setting up a progress strip for VFR
advisories for him. He said he thought the controller also may have
acknowleged radar contact. I think an acknowlegement of radar contact
would then permit entry to Class C. All you need to enter Class C is a
Mode C transponder and two-way radio communications. You do not
need to be "cleared into" Class C.

Would you not agree?


"Radar contact" does not override the instruction to remain clear of the
Class C airspace.
