My last few fun flights for new passengers has been under the NY TCA
up the Hudson at about 900-1000 feet.  I monitor NY center just in case,
and have heard myself described as traffic to others within the TCA, while
not contacting the controllers themselves.

By the way, there is a proposal by the FAA to REQUIRE all transponder equipped
planes to have them on at all times, not just when under ATC! This was metioned
in the last AOPA magazine, and is being fought but may well become regs.
