Narrative:
Radio failed entering dayton class C airspace, a field to be sprayed just north of runway 6L. I had made contact with dayton's ATC by land line, before takeoff. Handheld is used in this aircraft only once every 2 or 3 yrs. It was a long way back home, and I would have had to land fully loaded, so I sprayed target field and called dayton ATC upon returning home.
