Narrative:

On starting sep/xa/02 at XA45, I was taxiing from FBO and ground control told me to call them when I my run up was complete for a runway 2R departure (IFR) in VFR conditions. I called ground control and told her 'run up complete.' I believe I was told 'cross runway 2L, hold short runway 2R for departure, contact tower on 120.9.' so, I cleared final approach course for runway 2L. There were no aircraft approaching and taxied across to hold short runway 2R. Upon reaching the hold short line for runway 2R, I called tower on 120.9 and said 'holding short of runway 2R for departure.' tower came back and said 'you just crossed an active runway without permission.' I told him I thought ground control had cleared me across runway 2L. He told me that they didn't. Then he proceeded to call me back and to call him upon reaching my destination. On the next call I was cleared for takeoff. I repeated back the instructions and apologized for the misunderstanding. Upon reaching my destination, I called him back on the number he gave me and he told me he was going to turn the report in to the FSDO. He says ground control told me to 'hold short of runway 2L for runway 2R, contact tower.' I gave him all my information and left it at that.

I CALLED GND CTL AND TOLD HER 'RUN UP COMPLETE.' I BELIEVE I WAS TOLD 'CROSS RWY 2L, HOLD SHORT RWY 2R FOR DEP, CONTACT TWR ON 120.9.' SO, I CLRED FINAL APCH COURSE FOR RWY 2L.

TWR CAME BACK AND SAID 'YOU JUST CROSSED AN ACTIVE RWY WITHOUT PERMISSION.' I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT GND CTL HAD CLRED ME ACROSS RWY 2L. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO CALL ME BACK AND TO CALL HIM UPON REACHING MY DEST. ON THE NEXT CALL I WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. I REPEATED BACK THE INSTRUCTIONS AND APOLOGIZED FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING. UPON REACHING MY DEST, I CALLED HIM BACK ON THE NUMBER HE GAVE ME AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO TURN THE RPT IN TO THE FSDO. HE SAYS GND CTL TOLD ME TO 'HOLD SHORT OF RWY 2L FOR RWY 2R, CONTACT TWR.' I GAVE HIM ALL MY INFO AND LEFT IT AT THAT.
