Narrative:
We flew a long pattern to runway 1L arriving from the north and sequenced behind all other traffic. We were cleared for a visual approach well south of macdill; already slowed to 210 kts. We intercepted the glide slope and flew an extremely smooth and uneventful approach. I remember thinking that it was awfully quiet; but not unusual since we were the last on approach. Mostly; I was glad to be done with a turbulent day and appreciative of the nice weather in tampa. Only after clearing the runway did we recognize the error; as ground control had not been preset on radio 1. We were cleared to taxi to our gate after a slight hesitation from ground. Not as an excuse; but as a factor; approach did not send us to tower prior to landing.
