Narrative:

After departing destin, fl, and contacting eglin departure, the controller demanded to know why we did not call him while we were on the ground. Then went on to inform us that our clearance required that we contact him before we took off. I did not argue with him at the time, but no it did not. At the time, we (the crew) were dealing with rain and a set of our instrument lights decided to fail while I was copying the clearance, but I find it hard to believe that both of us failed to hear at least part of a clearance to 'contact departure on, and a frequency.' also, I read back the clearance that I received, and clearance delivery did not correct me.
