Entering MATZ and ATZ on weekend

Hi All

I wanted to ask some advice on entering a MATZ and their ATZ during weekends.

Normally ATC at RAF stations are closed on a weekend, so you wouldn't get a response if calling them for a MATZ penetration. However, would you advise staying on their frequency and announcing your intentions or after determining no ones there would you change back to your previous frequency and continue into the MATZ?

This happened to me on a flight a few months back when I flew over Wattisham and I stayed on their frequency but remained clear of their ATZ.

What would you do / advise?

Cheers

Rob
