I look forward to the check ride report... but just for asking.. what was
wrong with the radio that the tow was wagging the wings and not giving you
the radio call that both of you needed to land ASAP.

It's been a few days...

As I remember it, we were in discussion with the tow pilot-whether to
continue the tow to 3K or make it a pattern tow. We decided to go
to the opposite IP (furthest from the WX), which whould normally be a
release at 1000-1500'. I started to clear the area ~900', got my
eyes back to the center and the towplane was waving us off. Apparently
he'd been waving us off for several seconds, but I was clearing and
didnt see it.

I pulled, landed,etc. Discussed it with the towpilot on the ground
afterwards, he was wondering why we didnt get off sooner, we were
wondering why he waved us off...we sorted it out...no biggie.
