Narrative:
Approach on ILS runway 5 to uncontrolled field (spa). On short final, had to initiate a go around because of traffic landing on runway 23. As PIC, I did not properly monitor the unicom frequency to learn about traffic using runway 23. The PIC was distraction by WX inside the FAF, which was no excuse. Should monitor unicom beginning 50 mi out and don't be distraction because of WX or anything else. Get TA as far out as possible, and then again within 10 mi of airport. Announce you're on position when approaching an uncontrolled field. P.south. PIC misread approach plate and thought spa had a control tower. They do not.

Narrative: APCH ON ILS RWY 5 TO UNCTLED FIELD (SPA). ON SHORT FINAL, HAD TO INITIATE A GAR BECAUSE OF TFC LNDG ON RWY 23. AS PIC, I DID NOT PROPERLY MONITOR THE UNICOM FREQ TO LEARN ABOUT TFC USING RWY 23. THE PIC WAS DISTR BY WX INSIDE THE FAF, WHICH WAS NO EXCUSE. SHOULD MONITOR UNICOM BEGINNING 50 MI OUT AND DON'T BE DISTR BECAUSE OF WX OR ANYTHING ELSE. GET TA AS FAR OUT AS POSSIBLE, AND THEN AGAIN WITHIN 10 MI OF ARPT. ANNOUNCE YOU'RE ON POS WHEN APCHING AN UNCTLED FIELD. P.S. PIC MISREAD APCH PLATE AND THOUGHT SPA HAD A CTL TWR. THEY DO NOT.
