You weren't on flight following so they've no clue who you are or where to find you. I'd stick with "let a sleeping dog lie" and "don't ask ... don't tell" and hope for the best. I seriously doubt they're aware that there was an incursion into Class-A and absent fast movers in the vicinity they've very little incentive to go to all the trouble to track you down if by chance they did notice the incursion. If you present yourself to them OTOH, there'll be someone in the system that can't resist the temptation to nail you - if only to prove he can.
Learn your lesson and move on. Turn off xpdr next time you do that ... Jim S.

The ASRS form wont do a thing in this case to protect against enforcement. The enforcement amnesty does not apply to intentional deviations from the rule
Two issues are concrete by admission: Operating above specified altitudes without oxygen and operating in Class A airspace without an IFR clearance. Neither were inadverdent. To add teeth to any proceding, the FAA could invoke reckless and careless. If Tracy wanted protection he would have needed to declared an emergency (and preferably communicated that.

Dave S., Bernie, et al, Point well taken. Yes, I was very lucky and will never do that again. I thought
about the x-p squawking to the world how dumb this pilot over Ga
was but didn't dare turn it off. I was on top of Atlanta
Hartsfield class B much of the time and decided they would be less
concerned about somebody straying above 18,000 than they would
about a plane at unknown altitude inside their class B.

Wow! You're too much Tracy. You are cottonpicking lucky
you did not hypoxia and pull the Otter apart. Did you turn
off the alt x-p during the period over 18K? I know you
did not talk to anyone so doubt they can trace you anyway.
Putting a larger cowl flap door, now have reasonable
feeling cranking compression.
