Narrative:
Entering traffic pattern on the 45 to downwind; we misdialed the correct frequency and were .1 off. Because of the haze we didn't see the traffic and because of the frequency misdial we didn't hear the traffic on the crosswind leg; took evasive action (360 to the left) to re-join downwind leg runway 35.
