Narrative:

I was on a VFR flight between angel fire NM (axx) to navajo dam state park (1v0). While attempting to land at 1v0 I was set up for the final after making a left base to final turn and ascertaining that the slight wind that was present was from the southwest. I broadcast my position on base and on final on 122.8 which is what I noted from the state of NM navigational map. When I was approximately 400 ft above ground level and 3/4 of mi out I noted a plane on the runway. I then executed a turn to the right to parallel the runway and made a go around, again broadcasting my position as I went around to make a downwind base and final again. I landed without event noting that the previously noted plane was in the parking area of the field. Upon exiting the plane I noted that the pilot was writing down my north number. When I asked what the problem was I was told by this gentleman that I was not using appropriate procedure at an uncontrolled field. He also remarked that my transponder must be broken as he did not pick it up on his TCASII device until I was even with his plane, he then noted that I was 600, then 700, then 800 ft above him. He was very vocal and mad and I actually feared for a moment that he might strike me. He then let me know that 122.9 was the correct frequency for use at this field. I later looked at the same map I had used originally and found that the other pilot was correct 122.9 is the multicom frequency for 1v0. I am sure that I just mistook the 9 for an 8. I believe in the future I will monitor both frequencys when going into an uncontrolled field also possibly 122.7. My aircraft is cessna 210.

Title: SMA USING WRONG UNI FREQ MAKES GAR AS HE SIGHTS ACFT ON RWY DURING FINAL APCH.

Narrative: I WAS ON A VFR FLT BTWN ANGEL FIRE NM (AXX) TO NAVAJO DAM STATE PARK (1V0). WHILE ATTEMPTING TO LAND AT 1V0 I WAS SET UP FOR THE FINAL AFTER MAKING A L BASE TO FINAL TURN AND ASCERTAINING THAT THE SLIGHT WIND THAT WAS PRESENT WAS FROM THE SW. I BROADCAST MY POS ON BASE AND ON FINAL ON 122.8 WHICH IS WHAT I NOTED FROM THE STATE OF NM NAVIGATIONAL MAP. WHEN I WAS APPROX 400 FT ABOVE GND LEVEL AND 3/4 OF MI OUT I NOTED A PLANE ON THE RWY. I THEN EXECUTED A TURN TO THE R TO PARALLEL THE RWY AND MADE A GAR, AGAIN BROADCASTING MY POS AS I WENT AROUND TO MAKE A DOWNWIND BASE AND FINAL AGAIN. I LANDED WITHOUT EVENT NOTING THAT THE PREVIOUSLY NOTED PLANE WAS IN THE PARKING AREA OF THE FIELD. UPON EXITING THE PLANE I NOTED THAT THE PLT WAS WRITING DOWN MY N NUMBER. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THE PROB WAS I WAS TOLD BY THIS GENTLEMAN THAT I WAS NOT USING APPROPRIATE PROC AT AN UNCTLED FIELD. HE ALSO REMARKED THAT MY XPONDER MUST BE BROKEN AS HE DID NOT PICK IT UP ON HIS TCASII DEVICE UNTIL I WAS EVEN WITH HIS PLANE, HE THEN NOTED THAT I WAS 600, THEN 700, THEN 800 FT ABOVE HIM. HE WAS VERY VOCAL AND MAD AND I ACTUALLY FEARED FOR A MOMENT THAT HE MIGHT STRIKE ME. HE THEN LET ME KNOW THAT 122.9 WAS THE CORRECT FREQ FOR USE AT THIS FIELD. I LATER LOOKED AT THE SAME MAP I HAD USED ORIGINALLY AND FOUND THAT THE OTHER PLT WAS CORRECT 122.9 IS THE MULTICOM FREQ FOR 1V0. I AM SURE THAT I JUST MISTOOK THE 9 FOR AN 8. I BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE I WILL MONITOR BOTH FREQS WHEN GOING INTO AN UNCTLED FIELD ALSO POSSIBLY 122.7. MY ACFT IS CESSNA 210.
