Narrative:

Made final approach gear up. Was notified by slc tower to go around about 200-250 ft AGL before touchdown. Departed btf for slc during high traffic time and was constantly being vectored and re-vectored. When cleared to land, controller wanted it expedited due to heavy traffic. Did not have time for checklist. 3 planes behind me to land, several waiting to take off, one on runway taking off. Heard my tail number, controller telling me to go around. Did so! Will never forget it! Did 5 hours of recurrent training after incident.
