Narrative:
After departing kissimmee, fl, airport I made 2 attempts to contact orl approach. The third try, I was told to leave their airspace. I had inadvertently gained 700 ft of altitude. This put me at 2200 ft. The floor of the class B airspace at my position was 1500 ft. I immediately turned left as instructed, leaving the TCA. No further contact with approach.
