There's certainly a good reason not to talk to ATC: if you're below their
radar coverage, you might prefer be on the common traffic frequency
(there's
one for the Hudson and one for the East River) so you can announce your
position and hear other pilots' announcements.

Hi Gary. I completely agree with this. It's only in class B that the
controllers have the obligation to separate all air traffice, VFR as well as
IFR. If I'm in the class E, I'd rather be talking to the other traffic so I
know their intentions.

Beyond that, I feel compelled to say that throughout this sorry episode,
your posts have have had the best, no-nonsense information and insights, and
I thank you for that.
