Narrative:
During landing approach to runway 14 at sts, at the flare, someone on tower frequency called out 'comanche has no gear.' realizing this was probably me, I initiated an immediate go around. I did not think the aircraft touched the runway. Continued in the pattern, extended the landing gear normally, completed the landing and taxied to my t-hangar.
