Narrative:
We took off runway 1 and the tower told us to contact departure. When I flipped the radio to the departure frequency, 30 seconds after, the departure told us to turn right to 190 degrees for traffic. Since I hadn't checked in yet and thought it was a strange request I asked the controller if his call was for our particular flight. He said 'yes' along with the instructions again. I read it back and we began our right turn to 190 degrees. As we were rolling through 090 degrees he called us back again and asked what our heading was. I told him 090 degrees turning right to 190 degrees. He said 'why is that, I haven't even called you yet.' I told him he did contact us and I was following his instructions. He told us those instructions were for another aircraft and yet the other aircraft never heard them and the controller missed my readback if it was for another aircraft. He then told us to turn to a heading of 120 degrees and intercept our airway on course. All in all it was a miscom and I think we should all be more perceptive.

Title: FLC OF A SAAB SF34 REPLIED AND RESPONDED TO THE WRONG CALL SIGN SHORTLY AFTER TKOF FROM ALB DURING INITIAL CLB.
Narrative: WE TOOK OFF RWY 1 AND THE TWR TOLD US TO CONTACT DEP. WHEN I FLIPPED THE RADIO TO THE DEP FREQ, 30 SECONDS AFTER, THE DEP TOLD US TO TURN R TO 190 DEGS FOR TFC. SINCE I HADN'T CHKED IN YET AND THOUGHT IT WAS A STRANGE REQUEST I ASKED THE CTLR IF HIS CALL WAS FOR OUR PARTICULAR FLT. HE SAID 'YES' ALONG WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN. I READ IT BACK AND WE BEGAN OUR R TURN TO 190 DEGS. AS WE WERE ROLLING THROUGH 090 DEGS HE CALLED US BACK AGAIN AND ASKED WHAT OUR HDG WAS. I TOLD HIM 090 DEGS TURNING R TO 190 DEGS. HE SAID 'WHY IS THAT, I HAVEN'T EVEN CALLED YOU YET.' I TOLD HIM HE DID CONTACT US AND I WAS FOLLOWING HIS INSTRUCTIONS. HE TOLD US THOSE INSTRUCTIONS WERE FOR ANOTHER ACFT AND YET THE OTHER ACFT NEVER HEARD THEM AND THE CTLR MISSED MY READBACK IF IT WAS FOR ANOTHER ACFT. HE THEN TOLD US TO TURN TO A HDG OF 120 DEGS AND INTERCEPT OUR AIRWAY ON COURSE. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A MISCOM AND I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE MORE PERCEPTIVE.
