Narrative:
Was en route from santa monica to chino airport. Inadvertently entered brackett class D airspace south of pom VOR. Upon landing at chino airport, I was asked to call brackett tower. I called this number and received only a facsimile tone. I believe I was either given a wrong number or brackett uses this number for faxes as well as voice, creating a communication conflict.
