Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot said he was distracted by what he thought was an aircraft radio failure, his inability to immediately locate the wind sock, and an air show in progress at the destination airport. He did not go through his normal GUMPS check, forgot to lower the landing gear and landed wheels up.
