A C172 departed CBF airport 7 miles east of OMA. He entered the OMA Charlie Airspace east of OMA Eppley prior to establishing two-way radio communications. He established communications 3 miles East of OMA on his way Westbound and climbing. Pilot simply did not comply with two-way radio communication procedures in a Charlie Airspace environment. A remote transmitter/receiver at the CBF airport would help greatly. It's a very busy satellite airport and it needs a remote transmitter/receiver.
R90 Controller described a Charlie Airspace incursion by traffic departing CBF Airport; the reporter noting improved communications gear near CBF would likely reduce these types of events.
