You cannot enter 30nm ring without a transponder....
This statement is incorrect. You need to review FAR 91.215, section b
(3). It states that the original request is legal (flight within the 30
mile Mode C veil, but NOT within the Class B), since the OP clearly
stated that the aircraft in question not only had no transponder, but no
electrical system.
This says nothing about the whether it's a good idea to fly NORDO within
the corridor - I'd be a bit hesitant. However, with a HANDHELD radio,
you'd be perfectly safe (at least as safe as everyone else) and
perfectly legal.
