Procedure
I am told to think slinky for this event. I climbed Air Carrier X off the ground to 15;000 FT. The Citation checked in climbing to 4;000 FT off of executive airport 3 miles behind and more that 1;000 FT below. Once I observed Air Carrier X leaving 6;000 FT I turned him eastbound. I climbed the Citation to 15;000 FT and left him on a 040 heading. He climbed through the wake of where Air Carrier X used to be. REALLY! Don't climb behind wake turbulence aircraft.
C90 Controller described an alleged wake turbulence separation event when climbing one aircraft through a point in space that had recently been occupied by a 'heavy' jet.
