Narrative:
Departed runway 26 at poc, left (south) downwind departure. Destination was on 115 degree radial from pom VOR. On turning downwind, requested frequency change to contact socal approach and began climb to 3500 ft. Socal was busy and I called 2-3 times before response and was advised to stay clear of class C airspace. At that time I observed that I had already entered the airspace. I turned south at that time to exit the airspace. Corrective actions: 1) request class C service prior to takeoff. 2) stay on top of location better before entering class C or other airspace.

Title: INSTRUCTOR ON CLB FROM NEARBY ARPT ENTERS CLASS C AIRSPACE PRIOR TO CONTACT WITH APCH CTLR.
Narrative: DEPARTED RWY 26 AT POC, L (S) DOWNWIND DEP. DEST WAS ON 115 DEG RADIAL FROM POM VOR. ON TURNING DOWNWIND, REQUESTED FREQ CHANGE TO CONTACT SOCAL APCH AND BEGAN CLB TO 3500 FT. SOCAL WAS BUSY AND I CALLED 2-3 TIMES BEFORE RESPONSE AND WAS ADVISED TO STAY CLR OF CLASS C AIRSPACE. AT THAT TIME I OBSERVED THAT I HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE AIRSPACE. I TURNED S AT THAT TIME TO EXIT THE AIRSPACE. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: 1) REQUEST CLASS C SVC PRIOR TO TKOF. 2) STAY ON TOP OF LOCATION BETTER BEFORE ENTERING CLASS C OR OTHER AIRSPACE.
