That's the nature of my question. Via earlier communications with ATL
leading up to the failure, it was obvious a problem was brewing. If a
7600 was squawked, would their hands of been tied from a procedural
perspective? If mid trip the 7600 would be a no brainier; but that close
to the end, very saturated airspace, VFR almost in sight, not so clear...
After poping out and while trying to remember light signals for my RYY
non-comm. VFR approach and landing, attempted to contact RYY tower and all
was well (10/10 comms). It appears ATL had a problem with equipment. Had
RYY tower contact ATL and let them know my equipment worked fine on other
frequencies. Flown two trips since and everything on my side has been
fine.

I assumed by your description that the problem was on your end. It's very
possible the problem could have been on their end. That's why it's always a
good idea to have an alternate frequency dialed in on the flip-flop. This
could be the previous or closest center frequency, or in the case of
approach an alternate frequency listed on the arrival procedure or VFR
chart. You might get the wrong controller, but at least they can find out
what the problem is and perhaps provide you with a vice frequency.
