Narrative:

I departed on a local VFR training flight from fty on sep/xa/99 at about AB00. We had some radio problems on the ground one time, but they were fine. The WX was 5500 ft broken with 7 mi visibility. We took off on runway 8 and headed northwest. The tower told me that a frequency change was approved while turning crosswind to depart to the northwest. The WX started to diminish, so my student and I headed back to the airport. There are some tower tanks located 8 mi northwest of fty. At the tower tanks, I called the tower to tell them that we were on our way in. The visibility is now marginal and the rain is coming down very heavily. The tower then told me to identify, I did. After a while he said I was 1 1/2 mi from the airport, turn to enter a right base runway 26. I continued the approach. When I got on the ground, I was instructed to call the tower. The tower said they instructed me to go around due to another airplane. I heard nothing. They called a few times they said, but I didn't hear them. They said I did not comply with ATC. They said that the other airplane was not completely off the runway when I crossed the threshold. I saw no one on the runway. I did see a baron off of the runway on a taxiway. The WX was very bad and rainy. I have done most of my training at the nashville airport. I have always complied with ATC instructions. The tower says a person will contact me from the local FSDO to talk. A letter of deviation may be written. I disagree with what the man in the tower says he saw with the other aircraft and with what I saw.
