Narrative:

Our flight became unstabilized below 50 feet during the landing phase and we executed a textbook balked landing on runway 33. The main tires did touch the runway; as expected.unfortunately during the go-around phase; comm 1 radio flip-flop button got pushed. Once we returned to the right frequency; we received vectors back around for another VMC approach to runway 1. On the downwind I did quickly call the flight attendant (flight attendant) and make a quick PA announcement about the go-around and gusting winds. We landed on runway 1 without further gusting wind issues. During the taxi in; tower asked us to give them a call; which I did after we parked at the gate and deplaned. Tower asked me why we went around. I explained that the winds had gusted and we became unstabilized during the flare. Next they asked why I did not stay on the tower frequency. I said; I was sorry; but during the balked landing things got very busy; and somehow the radio flip-flop button got pushed back to approach control. Who ever I was talking to the tower seemed very busy; and basically said don't do it again and make sure you stay on the tower frequency. During deplaning no passengers expressed any concerns to me or my crew. In fact; a few did say good job as they meet back up with us on our next flight.

Title: CRJ-200 flight crew reported a sidestep maneuver to another runway and with gusty conditions the approach became unstable. The flight crew executed a go-around and circle back for a normal landing.

Once we returned to the right frequency; we received vectors back around for another VMC approach to runway 1. On the downwind I did quickly call the Flight Attendant (FA) and make a quick PA announcement about the go-around and gusting winds. We landed on runway 1 without further gusting wind issues. During the taxi in; tower asked us to give them a call; which I did after we parked at the gate and deplaned. Tower asked me why we went around.
