Narrative:

Received clearance on cak clearance delivery frequency. Reception was very static-filled (on both my radios). Clearance delivery could hear me ok. Took twice to get clearance. Did so, told them I'd take off VFR. When I contacted akron departure, they were surprised, saying clearance delivery had asked me to hold for release. I neither heard nor acknowledged this from clearance delivery. Conditions were excellent VFR. No traffic conflicts existed locally, nor were any pointed out after akron handled me.
