Narrative:

Called unicom 10 mi out, no response. Called pattern position 4 times. Heard no other aircraft respond. Upon landing, there was another aircraft landing at the opposite end of the runway, towards me. He did a go around. No contact or damage to either aircraft. I discovered while taxiing that I had the wrong radio frequency tuned in the communication radio.
