Narrative:

I was working radar in the tower cabin attendant. Aircraft X (LR35) departed to the north for rice lake, wi, on a 030 degree heading, climbing to 4000 ft. I radar idented him and climbed him to 10000 ft on course, which would be about a 50 degree heading. ZMP called and told me to put him on a 360 degree heading. I repeated the heading and relayed it to aircraft X. About 15 mi north of lnk was air carrier Y at 11000 ft going to oma (west to east). Oma called for a pointout, and I approved it reference aircraft X. Traffic was observed. Center took the handoff on aircraft X, but I held onto him at 10000 ft reference air carrier Y. When air carrier Y was well past to the east, I climbed aircraft X to FL230 and shipped him to ZMP. ZMP then called me and said 'I told you to stop the lear at 10000 ft, but that's ok, there's no problem.' I always read back instructions when they are given to me. ZMP told me to put aircraft on a 360 degree heading, I read it back and put it on my strip. Apparently, I was also told to stop him at 10000 ft. I really don't recall hearing that. I know I would have repeated it. I guess that's about it.

Title: APCH CTLR AT LNK CLRS AN LJ35 OUTBOUND TO FL230 WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM THE ZMP CTLR.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING RADAR IN THE TWR CAB. ACFT X (LR35) DEPARTED TO THE N FOR RICE LAKE, WI, ON A 030 DEG HDG, CLBING TO 4000 FT. I RADAR IDENTED HIM AND CLBED HIM TO 10000 FT ON COURSE, WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT A 50 DEG HDG. ZMP CALLED AND TOLD ME TO PUT HIM ON A 360 DEG HDG. I REPEATED THE HDG AND RELAYED IT TO ACFT X. ABOUT 15 MI N OF LNK WAS ACR Y AT 11000 FT GOING TO OMA (W TO E). OMA CALLED FOR A POINTOUT, AND I APPROVED IT REF ACFT X. TFC WAS OBSERVED. CTR TOOK THE HDOF ON ACFT X, BUT I HELD ONTO HIM AT 10000 FT REF ACR Y. WHEN ACR Y WAS WELL PAST TO THE E, I CLBED ACFT X TO FL230 AND SHIPPED HIM TO ZMP. ZMP THEN CALLED ME AND SAID 'I TOLD YOU TO STOP THE LEAR AT 10000 FT, BUT THAT'S OK, THERE'S NO PROB.' I ALWAYS READ BACK INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THEY ARE GIVEN TO ME. ZMP TOLD ME TO PUT ACFT ON A 360 DEG HDG, I READ IT BACK AND PUT IT ON MY STRIP. APPARENTLY, I WAS ALSO TOLD TO STOP HIM AT 10000 FT. I REALLY DON'T RECALL HEARING THAT. I KNOW I WOULD HAVE REPEATED IT. I GUESS THAT'S ABOUT IT.
