Narrative:
Cancelled IFR was on visual to airport ZZZ left base for runway xy; saw a 172 on final; and performed a go-around. Did a nonstandard right turn and flew outbound. Checked radio frequency and dialed in [local CTAF]. Turned back to final and saw a mooney. Turned back around to the right and flew outbound. I was on the radio but heard no one. I got a call and told me to switch to [local CTAF]. Apparently I had not pressed the button on the KX155 hard enough. I dialed [local CTAF] in and landed. During the second go-around I forgot to put the landing gear down. When I realized the wheels didn't touch; I powered up and heard the props vibrate. I rose to 5 or 6 feet and lowered the gear. Landing long on runway 32. I taxied to the ramp and shut down. The last 3 or 4 inches of the blades were curled.
