Narrative:

Landed at eqy told approach controller that I was dropping off and coming right back out. He said, 'yes I see your flight plan.' I asked him if the rco was functioning at eqy. He said it was. I replied that it was not working that morning when I departed. He said give me a call and we'll get your clearance. I departed VFR from eqy which is inside the clt class B airspace. I immediately contacted departure. My altitude was approximately 1000 ft MSL. I was cleared via the betty transition, read back the clearance and started to climb. Another controller came on the air, I assumed he was the supervisor and asked if I was familiar with the clt class B airspace. I said that I was. He seemed quite agitated and informed me that I had performed a 'pilot deviation.' he said nothing else and switched me to the next frequency. I was in the class B airspace wihtout a clearance, but I had picked up at least 5 other clrncs in the same fashion in the preceding days and weeks. The controller should have simply stated that I should remain clear of the class B and this all would be moot. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated his aircraft was a king air, but did not add any other significant information.
