Narrative:

Runways 23 and 10 in use; pattern traffic on runway 23; BE23 reports 5 mi west; told to make a straight in to runway 10; report 3 mi final. I had cleared a C172 for takeoff runway 23; and didn't see the BE23; after a re-scan off the runways; I saw BE23 approximately 1/2 to 3/4 mi final to runway 10. The C172 was slow to start its takeoff roll; so I stopped him on the runway short of the intersection of runway 23 and runway 10. I started to transmit to BE23; but stopped as I don't believe it went out. BE23 landed without a clearance. Recent radio problems and sunny day with haze; added to the visibility problem. BE23 sounded a little rusty and not used to a controled field.
