Narrative:

I received ATIS. Runway 1 in use. I received FSS traffic. I waited for small aircraft to land. We do not have taxi areas on runway. I looked for medium large transport to land runway 1 and did not see any. I taxied out and turned around and medium large transport was using opposite runway 19. He was landing downwind about 10 KTS. I asked if he was landing 19 and medium large transport said yes he had his clearance from center because he was landing at uncontrolled airport. I told him it was on ATIS which runway in use and he should use it. I did not have time to taxi off runway so the medium large transport had to make go around and land runway 1. Medium large transport captain very unhappy.
