Narrative:
The pilot of the Beechcraft B200 Super King Air failed to verify that the undercarriage was down before landing at Unalaska Airport, USA. The aircraft landed gear-up.
The pilot reported that he was distracted by two radio calls which drew the pilot's attention outside to see and avoid traffic and the verify that the runway was clear since there was work in progress with snow removal.
The flaps were not yet fully down, hence the gear warning horn did not sound.
