Narrative:
At approximately XX00 am local time, I departed SC60 to do some pilot proficiency in a 1978 cessna cardinal rg. After takeoff, I tried to contact flo approach on my #1 communication. When I did not get a reply, I switched headsets and mikes. I tried again without success and then switched to my #2 communication and heard flo approach announce that an aircraft calling had carrier only. When I called flo approach on my #2 communication, I received a reply. Flo approach asked my intentions, and I replied that I was going to do some takeoff and lndgs locally. Flo approach asked if I wanted radar following, and I declined stating that I was going to remain local. Subsequently, I made a touch and go landing at 51J which had a 3400 ft paved runway and returned to SC60 which has a 2700 ft grass runway. After completing 3 takeoffs and lndgs using the short, soft field techniques at SC60, I decided to do some slow 360 degree turns. After making 2 such turns, I noticed that my 1 hour of intended proficiency flying was about up and proceeded back into the pattern for a landing on runway 23. Everything appeared normal on the final approach as I was concentrating on a full flap, full stop landing with a smooth, soft touchdown. At the moment of touchdown, I was surprised at the slight bump and then a dragging sound as I slid to a stop on the runway. I saw the bent, stopped propeller and realized that I had landed gear up.

Title: A C177RG LANDED WITH THE LNDG GEAR RETRACTED INCURRING DAMAGE TO THE ACFT.
Narrative: AT APPROX XX00 AM LCL TIME, I DEPARTED SC60 TO DO SOME PLT PROFICIENCY IN A 1978 CESSNA CARDINAL RG. AFTER TKOF, I TRIED TO CONTACT FLO APCH ON MY #1 COM. WHEN I DID NOT GET A REPLY, I SWITCHED HEADSETS AND MIKES. I TRIED AGAIN WITHOUT SUCCESS AND THEN SWITCHED TO MY #2 COM AND HEARD FLO APCH ANNOUNCE THAT AN ACFT CALLING HAD CARRIER ONLY. WHEN I CALLED FLO APCH ON MY #2 COM, I RECEIVED A REPLY. FLO APCH ASKED MY INTENTIONS, AND I REPLIED THAT I WAS GOING TO DO SOME TKOF AND LNDGS LOCALLY. FLO APCH ASKED IF I WANTED RADAR FOLLOWING, AND I DECLINED STATING THAT I WAS GOING TO REMAIN LCL. SUBSEQUENTLY, I MADE A TOUCH AND GO LNDG AT 51J WHICH HAD A 3400 FT PAVED RWY AND RETURNED TO SC60 WHICH HAS A 2700 FT GRASS RWY. AFTER COMPLETING 3 TKOFS AND LNDGS USING THE SHORT, SOFT FIELD TECHNIQUES AT SC60, I DECIDED TO DO SOME SLOW 360 DEG TURNS. AFTER MAKING 2 SUCH TURNS, I NOTICED THAT MY 1 HR OF INTENDED PROFICIENCY FLYING WAS ABOUT UP AND PROCEEDED BACK INTO THE PATTERN FOR A LNDG ON RWY 23. EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL ON THE FINAL APCH AS I WAS CONCENTRATING ON A FULL FLAP, FULL STOP LNDG WITH A SMOOTH, SOFT TOUCHDOWN. AT THE MOMENT OF TOUCHDOWN, I WAS SURPRISED AT THE SLIGHT BUMP AND THEN A DRAGGING SOUND AS I SLID TO A STOP ON THE RWY. I SAW THE BENT, STOPPED PROP AND REALIZED THAT I HAD LANDED GEAR UP.
