Say what you want about the military but they did have a good procedure for 
radio failure.  Simply enter the pattern normal for your aircraft, visually 
separating yourself from other aircraft, and rock your wings repeatedly until 
you get a light from the tower.  Red you can break out and re-enter.  Green 
continue your approach and watch for lights.
I think most tower operators would understand a rocking the wings signal even 
now.
