Default Lost comm in Mexico

Still, it was a bumpy approach about 100 feet above minimums,
and I had enough going on without playing with frequency changes.
Reinforced to me how important currency is - if I was not reasonably
current in IFR skills it might have been much more challenging.


Not to dispute your conclusion or the importance of being current, but it's
also worth pointing out that if the workload had been too great, you could
have executed a missed approach and then dealt with the radio problem under
more relaxed circumstances--or you could even have considered it a lost-comm
situation and just flown the approach without worrying about the radios.
