My own issue was in the termination part. When I told them I wanted to
terminate
radar services, the request was ignored. When I inquired again whether
he'd
heard my request, he "denied" it by saying he was going to "keep me
with him until west of the airport."

That's why I was trying to find some sort of rules defining this
situation. I guess
as the pilot outside the Charlie, I should have simply said, "Terminating
radar
services, squaking 1200, will remain clear the Charlie." I didn't quite
think of that
at the time however.


Bingo.
