Narrative:

On approach to land at pit was advised to contact pit tower at the marker. Pilots never got a marker beacon signal and then got busy. Did not contact tower till on the ground. I don't think that a frequency change at a later time should be given when the pilots are in a high workload time. It would have been just as easy and safer to contact tower at the hand-over then at a later time like at the marker.
