using the emergency authority granted me by
FAR 91.3 to deviate from any rule of Part 91.


Good enough. But suppose your radios are all working fine, but you just
can't get a word in edgewise. I won't speculate as to how that might be
possible at this particular (middle of nowhere) facility, I'll just note
that it happens where I fly.

You go straight in, as you said you would.

Would =that= be a technical violation of the FARs, since you don't have
91.3 to rely upon?

Sure, if you can't communicate, either for reasons of congestion or
hardware failure, the end result is the same and use can use 91.3 as needed.
