Narrative:
Unicom frequency changed from 122.8 to 123.0 and this change was not on the latest sectional. This change has been notamed for 2 1/2 months. Airports should not be allowed to change frequencys until charts show this change. While monitoring the proper unicom frequency I announced on unicom I was entering the pattern on crosswind at pattern altitude. I saw a high wing single engine small aircraft sel south and east of the airport after passing over runway 14. As the small aircraft sel continued on, I turned downwind for runway 14. I announced and turned left base and final for runway 14. As I flared to land I saw a high wing single engine small aircraft sel on the runway taxiing towards me. I was taught by my first instructor to always land slow enough just as if you had lost your brakes. I was able to take the first high speed exit without any conflict, but the small aircraft sel did swerve to the right for safety. In the FBO the pilot and wife both admitted that they never heard my xmissions, that the wind sock was in the wrong location and that they were on the old unicom frequency, that they landed on runway 32.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: 2 SMA SEL ACFT LANDED ON OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE RWY AT AN UNCTLED ARPT CAUSING BOTH ACFT TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION IN MOVING TO THE SIDE OF AND EXITING THE RWY.
Narrative: UNICOM FREQ CHANGED FROM 122.8 TO 123.0 AND THIS CHANGE WAS NOT ON THE LATEST SECTIONAL. THIS CHANGE HAS BEEN NOTAMED FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS. ARPTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHANGE FREQS UNTIL CHARTS SHOW THIS CHANGE. WHILE MONITORING THE PROPER UNICOM FREQ I ANNOUNCED ON UNICOM I WAS ENTERING THE PATTERN ON XWIND AT PATTERN ALT. I SAW A HIGH WING SINGLE ENG SMA SEL S AND E OF THE ARPT AFTER PASSING OVER RWY 14. AS THE SMA SEL CONTINUED ON, I TURNED DOWNWIND FOR RWY 14. I ANNOUNCED AND TURNED L BASE AND FINAL FOR RWY 14. AS I FLARED TO LAND I SAW A HIGH WING SINGLE ENG SMA SEL ON THE RWY TAXIING TOWARDS ME. I WAS TAUGHT BY MY FIRST INSTRUCTOR TO ALWAYS LAND SLOW ENOUGH JUST AS IF YOU HAD LOST YOUR BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE FIRST HIGH SPD EXIT WITHOUT ANY CONFLICT, BUT THE SMA SEL DID SWERVE TO THE R FOR SAFETY. IN THE FBO THE PLT AND WIFE BOTH ADMITTED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD MY XMISSIONS, THAT THE WIND SOCK WAS IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND THAT THEY WERE ON THE OLD UNICOM FREQ, THAT THEY LANDED ON RWY 32.
