Narrative:

On final runway 22R ord, unable to contact the tower on 126.9 for landing clearance. Initiated a go around at less than 100 ft. Turned right on the go around which was correct but looked at the chart and began to head for northbrook instead of dupage which is the published miss. Contacted departure and received vectors for another approach. This was a bad WX day with extensive delays and ATC rertes. Although I had the initial direction of turn, despite all the other factors on this flight, I still need to be aware of the entire miss procedure. We were in VFR conditions, and usually gars receive a vector -- except in our case with a radio problem.
