Narrative:
I was told, or heard, 'released from runway 8, remain this frequency.' I repeated this back 'understand released from runway 8 remain this frequency.' I took to the runway and began to take off. I was then told to stop. The perception was that I was given takeoff clearance by the controller who was using the ground frequency as the tower frequency as I have experienced in the past. This incident would have been avoided if the controller would have been more specific by saying for example 'released from runway 8, contact tower for takeoff clearance.' it may have been avoided if the controller responded to my readback. It may have been avoided if the tower personnel was/were monitoring visually the active runway.

Narrative: I WAS TOLD, OR HEARD, 'RELEASED FROM RWY 8, REMAIN THIS FREQ.' I REPEATED THIS BACK 'UNDERSTAND RELEASED FROM RWY 8 REMAIN THIS FREQ.' I TOOK TO THE RWY AND BEGAN TO TAKE OFF. I WAS THEN TOLD TO STOP. THE PERCEPTION WAS THAT I WAS GIVEN TKOF CLRNC BY THE CTLR WHO WAS USING THE GND FREQ AS THE TWR FREQ AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST. THIS INCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE CTLR WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SPECIFIC BY SAYING FOR EXAMPLE 'RELEASED FROM RWY 8, CONTACT TWR FOR TKOF CLRNC.' IT MAY HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE CTLR RESPONDED TO MY READBACK. IT MAY HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE TWR PERSONNEL WAS/WERE MONITORING VISUALLY THE ACTIVE RWY.
