Narrative:
Lost both radios enroute. Followed 'lost communication' procedure and squawked 7600. Tried to contact tower via mobile telephone but no answer. Contacted a local FBO who contacted airport operations who contacted tower and played the intermediary relaying information. Waited for green/white light from tower to land. With green light visible landed safely; obtained number for tower on the ground and called to make sure there were no issues. Was told everything was done per procedure and no issues.
