Well, I spoze you could threaten him with changing your squawk to 7700,
which will set off bells, and cause a review of the tape by the
supervisor... That might get him to answer...
OTOH, I suggest what you did was just fine... Announce your intentions
clearly so it is understandable on the tape, and then just do it! You
are PIC, remember?

of course. I'm just used to "being on FF" or "NOT being on FF." In
other words, if his workload permits giving me traffic advisories
then do it. Otherwise kick me off FF. Don't keep the string
attached and ignore me. the other plan of action was to just stay
on the squawk, land and call FSS or Center.
