A pilot reported that the tower controller advised them they penetrated an adjacent class C airspace...

Narrative:

As I approached whp from the north; the whp local controller advised me that I had penetrated the bur class C airspace in the vicinity of the vpltw VFR checkpoint. I was using GPS navigation to remain clear of the bur airspace and argued briefly with the whp controller. I am certain I was well clear of the airspace; and the radar repeater in the whp tower has inaccurate overlays. I checked my ground tracks on the 'foreflight' application; and the ground track shows me to be clear of the airspace.at the controller's direction; I turned into the rising terrain (from which I maintained visual separation); and proceeded to follow his clearance to approach the airport. After I continued on my base leg pattern entry as directed by the local controller I heard him give me as traffic to another inbound aircraft. I did not hear a clearance to land; and queried the controller and was subsequently cleared to land. I believe this controller deliberately failed to issue landing clearance in an attempt to lure me into landing without clearance.this specific controller has had problems with other pilots at whp; often attempting to issue flight instruction to inexperienced pilots; and intimidating them as well. I believe he creates a distraction for pilots which compromises safety; and will eventually lead to an accident. I realize that this is not the venue for this vent; and apologize for my frustrated commentary.

Title: A pilot reported that the Tower Controller advised them they penetrated an adjacent Class C airspace. The pilot states according to his GPS and reviewing his route on an aviation software program they did not enter the Class C airspace.

Narrative: As I approached WHP from the north; the WHP local controller advised me that I had penetrated the BUR Class C airspace in the vicinity of the VPLTW VFR checkpoint. I was using GPS navigation to remain clear of the BUR airspace and argued briefly with the WHP controller. I am certain I was well clear of the airspace; and the radar repeater in the WHP tower has inaccurate overlays. I checked my ground tracks on the 'ForeFlight' application; and the ground track shows me to be clear of the airspace.At the controller's direction; I turned into the rising terrain (from which I maintained visual separation); and proceeded to follow his clearance to approach the airport.

I did not hear a clearance to land; and queried the controller and was subsequently cleared to land. I believe this controller deliberately failed to issue landing clearance in an attempt to lure me into landing without clearance.This specific controller has had problems with other pilots at WHP; often attempting to issue flight instruction to inexperienced pilots; and intimidating them as well. I believe he creates a distraction for pilots which compromises safety; and will eventually lead to an accident. I realize that this is not the venue for this vent; and apologize for my frustrated commentary.
