If you believe there is a communications failure, broadcast clearances through available means, including the voice feature of which facility?

Explanation:
When a communications failure is suspected, you must relay your clearance and intended actions through every available channel so ATC and other pilots can stay informed. The Navaids’ voice capability exists specifically to carry urgent messages like a clearance when normal two-way radio is down, making it the most appropriate choice in this context. The other facilities aren’t used to broadcast pilot clearances: ATIS provides weather information, ASDE is radar surveillance, and ARTS is an ATC automation system, not a channel for issuing or relaying clearances.
