Narrative:
I flew into bradford airport at XA00 to pick up a passenger. Runway 6 was used, but I was told the approach end was closed to the wind sock, so land long. On the return flight, I called 9 mi out, inbound at a 45 degree for runway 6, downwind, base and final. There was no response on the radio. Near the threshold a plane called on the radio. He was on final runway 24. He told me to turn and get out of his way. I did, missing tree tops. I changed runways. I checked the windsock, it favored runway 6. I was told runway 6 is closed due to wet/soggy turf. The people based at bradford airport know this. This other aircraft did not give position reports. Wind was calm, to 3 KTS favoring runway 6. Normal landing and takeoff was made with no problems using runway 24. After leaving the area, runway 6 was being used per CTAF reports.
