Narrative:
An aircraft was landing runway 12. We were landing runway 30. We mistakenly put 128.00 instead of 122.8 for the radio frequency. It is a keypad system. We were making radio calls but because we were on the wrong frequency no one heard it. We landed and saw them on final. We offset to the very right edge of the runway and they went around.
