If you really must go back to your departure airport, I wouldn't go barging back in without first squawking 7600 so they see what happened, then 7700 before you deviate from your clearance so they can clear the area accordingly. And so you can CYA, since now that they cleared the area, you'll be alive to.

LOL. You guys are too young to remember the old NORDO rule of squawk 7700 for 1 minute, followed by 7600 for 15 minutes, and repeat.
