The winds today favored traffic on 7R/7L and I taxied to the run up area at 7L. As soon as I requested tower for clearance, another aircraft requested clearance to land, reporting 4 miles out. After it landed, tower asked me to repeat my request. Listen to the tower clearing me for takeoff at (38:06). I was instructed “Niner zero six Mike Delta Livermore Tower make right traffic runway seven right runway seven left cleared for takeoff”. I’ve never done this traffic pattern and it took me a while to understand what it meant. There was noticeable impatience in the controller’s voice as I stumbled through the instructions.

After a few touch and go’s on 7R, I called it a day and turned right on taxiway Quebec. Then a long series of interactions ensued with the ground controller starting at (3:55:18). The problem was exacerbated by the fact that the controller’s radio cut out and I missed critical instructions. Perhaps I should have asked for progressive instructions. Oh well.
