In the past, it almost seemed like tower controllers were watching me and waiting for gear to touch down before they transmitted. In the 90ies I flew in Southern California, now I fly in the deep south, and the tower at my local airport is a training tower, so that might have something to do with it, or maybe its all in my head.
