Additional thought on squawking. It doesn't matter if you are on radar or not, squawk anyway because you will then appear as a TCAS target on an airliner's display. A significant safety benefit when you are not on radar and nor talking to the controller because of the radio failure!

Squawk and make "blind" radio transmissions until you are on the ground and clear of the runway.

Happy Christmas
