Narrative:

Prior to leaving for the airport, I called FSS for WX briefing and expressed my concern for exiting the overlaying TCA. WX from montgomery field (myf) to bullhead laughlin was clear with no flight advisories. The specialist that I talked to said I should have no problem with the TCA although it had been expanded to cover additional airspace. He advised that as long as I didnT loiter or circle sensitive areas and kept moving, there should be no problem and suggested I receive a clearance from ATC before departure. I contacted myf clearance delivery and was told a clearance was not required for my departure. Tower gave me a right downwind departure and upon takeoff a frequency for socal approach. I contacted ATC and was told to call back in seven mins. In approximately five mins they contacted me, gave me a transponder code and asked me to come to 100 degrees which was in line with the right downwind departure from runway 28R I had just departed. I was at 3000 ft AGL and told not to exceed 3500 ft. I remained at 3000 ft and was directed to come to 060 degrees and cleared to 4500 ft. During the climb I was informed I was clear of the class B airspace and cleared to climb unrestr to 5500 ft and given a frequency change. Upon contacting the new frequency, the controller informed me that I had entered the class B airspace without clearance and that was a nono. I explained that I was aware of class B airspace entry requirements. At the time this all transpired, the controller facility was informing other pilots of a problem at mcclellan palomar with all of their operations being sent to his sector and causing an additional workload.
