Prior to takeoff, C550 acknowledged clearance to climb to 16000 ft on the 185 degree radial. Departure controller claimed only cleared to 6000 ft after the flight was stopped at 8000 ft. Flight crew acknowledged clearance to 16000 ft.

Narrative:
Departing dca jun/xa/97 at XA15 local time, initial clearance was intercept 185 degree radial from dca, expect radar vectors to daily intersection to maintain 5000 ft. Next altitude instruction was acknowledged to climb to 16000 ft. ATC claimed we were cleared to 6000 ft and stopped our climb at 8000 ft. Our contention is that we acknowledged a clearance to 16000 ft.

Title: PRIOR TO TKOF, C550 ACKNOWLEDGED CLRNC TO CLB TO 16000 FT ON THE 185 DEG RADIAL. DEP CTLR CLAIMED ONLY CLRED TO 6000 FT AFTER THE FLT WAS STOPPED AT 8000 FT. FLC ACKNOWLEDGED CLRNC TO 16000 FT.
Narrative: DEPARTING DCA JUN/XA/97 AT XA15 LCL TIME, INITIAL CLRNC WAS INTERCEPT 185 DEG RADIAL FROM DCA, EXPECT RADAR VECTORS TO DAILY INTXN TO MAINTAIN 5000 FT. NEXT ALT INSTRUCTION WAS ACKNOWLEDGED TO CLB TO 16000 FT. ATC CLAIMED WE WERE CLRED TO 6000 FT AND STOPPED OUR CLB AT 8000 FT. OUR CONTENTION IS THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGED A CLRNC TO 16000 FT.
