Narrative:
Landing at luk, oh, we tried to make radio contact on 118.70 2.1 mi out with tower. Tried to make radio contact again 1 mi out with tower. No answer from luk tower. Announced our position over the radio, turning right base to final, and again on final approach. Announced our exiting runway 21L on luk. Still no answer. However, tower called to notify we landed without clearance onto runway 21L. We (the crew) thought tower was closed, consequently we decided to land. Tower said he did not see us until we exited runway 21L. Apologized and told them it won't happen again. Next time verify with last frequency used.
