Narrative:

Copilot accidently dialed in erroneous (wrong) tower frequency and was granted a clearance to land at a nearby airport, not destination airport. Plane landed at airport without proper clearance to land. Both airports had the same magnetic heading runways and both airports were within 10 NM of each other. Both had same identifier on ATIS. Frequency should have been checked more carefully to avoid this error. Proper attention should have been paid to selecting the proper frequency.
