Narrative: I was flying VFR; from Leesburg; VA (JYO) located within the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area ('SFRA') to Pennsylvania. My planned route of flight was to exit the Leesburg Maneuvering area to the north of JYO with a squawk code XYYZ. Upon exiting the SFRA; I flew direct. Upon landing in PA the airport manager met me on the tarmac and said he just received a call; handed me a piece of paper; and said I needed to call the number on the piece of paper; Potomac ATC. I immediately called and the individual with whom I spoke communicated I committed an SFRA violation. The Leesburg Maneuvering area allows for northbound departures; however I did not state this on the call as it wasn't made clear what the alleged violation was; and I was caught a little off guard. I provided the individual with the requested information: name; address; telephone number; and license number. As the call ended he told me the Department of Homeland Security would be contacting me. I departed VFR with a squawk code of 1200 a few hours later to return to Leesburg; VA (JYO). My route of flight was direct to Frederick; MD; changed course to the south of FDK to avoid the FDK class D airspace to the north and the SFRA to the south; continue west until I got to Purcellville; VA; and enter the SFRA from the west with a squawk code of XYYZ in the hope of avoiding another call. After I landed at JYO; while I was still securing the airplane; an individual (assuming he was from the FBO) approached me on the tarmac and instructed me to call Potomac TRACON. I immediately called and the individual with whom I spoke said I had to call the same number as before. I then called Potomac ATC and the person to whom I spoke indicated I violated the SFRA again. He said VFR egress/ingress to and from JYO can only be made from the west; which again I don't think is accurate but did not want to engage in a debate on the call. The individual said he didn't need to take my information again; and that I would be receiving a call from the Department of Homeland Security soon. I completed the FAA 'DC Special Flight Rules Area' online course and I am familiar with the airspace around DC as I learned to fly out of Leesburg; VA. I wanted to file this to inform  of the incident that occurred and my confusion relating to the alleged SFRA violation.




Synopsis: LSA pilot departing JYO was asked to contact PCT after landing about an SFRA violation. Upon returning to JYO he was asked to contact them again about another violation.
