Probable cause

the failure of the pilot of the PA-32R, N1030Q, to obtain identification of the Cessna 310R, N1835E, visually, and his inadequate visual outlook. A factor was the failure of both pilots to hear communications from each other.

The pilot of the Cessna 310, N1835E, stated that he had given position reports on the unicom frequency at downwind, left base, and again on final for landing on runway 34.
