Narrative:

I inadvertently neglected to call the tower and landed on the assigned runway without tower clearance. I contacted ground control after clearing runway 31 and apologized for my actions. I later learned that the tower wanted to speak with me, so I contacted them by radio at XA10, but no one was there who knew about it.
