Narrative:

En route northwest of houston inter-continental we entered class B due to radio problems and WX problems. We deviated to the east towards dwh where the class B base is 2000 ft. The ATC controller who we were monitoring reminded us that we were in class B without clearance, when we idented. I exited the airspace to the west.
