Narrative:
After receiving a taxi clearance, the aircraft was taxied to runway 29. While at the hold short line the controller (apparently) again cleared the aircraft to taxi to runway 29. This communication sounded like 'taxi onto runway 29,' and the aircraft was taxied onto the runway into position for takeoff. It was discovered later that the radio had been inadvertently left on the ground control frequency.
