Narrative:
During final approach to pit, runway 10L, approach advised to contact tower, giving 2 frequencys. Because of extreme fatigue from an all night flight, and after calling the tower receiving no answer I assumed we were clear to land. After doing so and taxiing off the runway, I noticed the wrong frequency was tuned in. I called the tower on the correct channel and explained, then was cleared to the ramp.
