PLT OF HOME-BUILT ACFT APCHING TO LAND HAS LTSS WITH ACFT DEPARTING OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

Narrative

I APCHED THE ARPT FROM THE NNW AT PATTERN ALT. I SAW NO TFC ON THE GND OR IN THE AIR. I CALLED TWICE ON CTAF FOR RWY ADVISORY. NO ANSWER; WHICH WAS NOT UNUSUAL AT THAT ARPT. LISTENING ON DIFFERENT FREQS EARLIER INDICATED THE LCL ARPTS WERE USING A TFC PATTERN FAVORING THE WIND; NNE AT 8 MPH. I ELECTED TO LAND ON RWY 04 BECAUSE OF THE WIND. ENTERING A L DOWNWIND AT MID-POINT OF THE FIELD; I ANNOUNCED MY INTENTIONS ON CTAF. IN THE MONI; SIDE AND REAR VISION IS RESTR DUE TO A LOW WING CONFIGN AND ON DOWNWIND I COULD NOT SEE ANY GND TFC ON THE N END. THE N END OF THE RWY IS LOWER AND HARD TO SEE FROM A LOW ANGLE AND AS I WAS JUST OFF THE S RWY END ABOUT 50 FT AGL ON FINAL; I SAW A SINGLE ENG LOW WING PLANE TAKING OFF FROM THE OTHER END IN A DOWNWIND TKOF. IT WAS ALREADY WELL ABOVE THE RWY AND TURNING TO MY L TO AVOID ME. AS I WAS ALMOST TO TOUCHDOWN AND WELL BELOW ITS FLT PATH; I COMPLETED THE LNDG; AS A PULL UP WOULD HAVE PUT US CLOSER TOGETHER. I TURNED OFF AT THE MID POINT OF THE RWY WHICH WAS WELL BEFORE THE POINT AT WHICH THE OTHER PLANE HAD LIFTED OFF. LATER; 2 OF THE INSTRUCTORS AT THE FIELD MADE IT A POINT TO DISCUSS IT WITH ME. THE ONE WHO WAS IN THE OPPOSING PLANE SAID HE HAD HEARD NO CALL FROM ME. BEFORE LEAVING THE FIELD ABOUT 2 HRS LATER; I RE-TIGHTENED THE RADIO ANTENNA CONNECTIONS AND RE-TUNED THE RADIO. IT IS AN OLDER HAND HELD WITH TUNING WHEELS THAT MUST BE OPERATED WITH A FINGER NAIL TIP. ON STARTING UP TO LEAVE; THE RADIO WAS WORKING WELL AND THE FBO WAS ADVISING THAT THE RWY DIRECTION HAD BEEN REVERSED. I WONDER WHY LCL PLTS DID NOT ALERT THE FBO AS TO THE WIND DIRECTION RATHER THAN MAKING DOWNWIND TKOFS. HOWEVER; I SHOULD NOT HAVE ASSUMED SO MUCH AND CHKED THE SIT CLOSER.
