Narrative:
While approaching lpr my radio was set to 121.7 the wrong unicom frequency. It should have been set to 122.7. On final for runway 25 the traffic on runway 07 radio transmissions were not heard. The runway 07 traffic was about 3000 ft from the end and appeared to be stopped when I initiated a go around to avoid a collision. I departed lpr and discovered my error and reset the radio to 122.7 and returned to land on runway 07
