Narrative:

Departed hvn at XA05 nov/wed/02 VFR contacted bdl approach 10 mi north of hvn continued flight following to 6 mi northeast of barnes at 2000 ft. I called 7b2 unicom asking what the active was. Within 10 seconds, aircraft called in runway 32 at northampton. I responded thanks. Checked out with bdl approach. Started descent. Called 7 out then entered on and called left base. Heard other aircraft in the pattern, asked him to tell me where he was in the pattern. No response. I turned and called final, asked again. I was calling on the lost frequency with bdl. I was cleared in from the radio. Saw the problem change the button and immediately called again. We contacted each other. Told him I was in the wrong, and asked if he wanted to land or if I should go first. He told me to land first. The other plane went around. After we got on the ground, I walked up to FBO and told them what happened and apologized. When the other plane came in, I went and talked to that pilot as well. This was my first event like this, and it made me realize how important to be heads up in the pattern with aircraft with different approach speeds. Both east hampton and north hampton have the same frequency. Confusion starts there if pilot only says hampton traffic.
