Narrative:

In sum: reporter landed at hwd, ca, in a 20-25 KT crosswind on runway 28L, held for traffic on runway 28R. After traffic passed, he crossed the runway assuming he was cleared to do so. His radio has had reported intermittent problems. He saw no light signals from the tower so he assumed he was cleared to cross and did so. The tower had their sun shades down because of the time of day and there was a glare on the tower windows which prevented seeing any light signals. This was reported to tower on the radio and in later phone conversation. Tower said they would review the tapes to see if there was a crossing clearance given and leave the rest up to management. No traffic conflict was reported.
