I was flying my RV-9 out of Spokane last weekend and got absolutely admonished by ATC.
I called the tower "Spokane Tower, Experimental RV N123AB five south, inbound"
ATC responds "There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO TELL ME YOU'RE EXPERIMENTAL. YOU'RE AN RV I KNOW YOU ARE EXPERIMENTAL."
I thought that we were required to identify ourselves as experimental.
What did I do wrong??
