Walt's encounters was over IYK, which happens to have a radar right on the airport. I think this provides coverage up the Owens valley toward Bishop.
In hind sight... since I was so close to a the R2505 restricted boundary and China Lake NAS, I probably should have contacted the tower or approach control (just outside 5NM). At that point I did not have a transponder, but now I do have one.
