Newbie holding questions

It's a moot point anyway,
whatever caused my comm radios to go belly up will affect my nav radios the
same way and I won't be able to identify the holding fix.


How does a blown speaker affect my ability to identify the holding fix?
I may not be able to ID the station, but I can check the frequency and
see the needles move. If this agrees with my time estimate, and I can
ID the problem as a blown speaker, under the circumstances I'd be
confident in identifying the fix.

Steve, you have a lot of knowledge of controller issues, which I
respect. However, you do not know why a hypothetical aircraft goes
NORDO unless it's your hypothetical.

Back to the paper stop - the following aircraft gets a hold, and goes
NORDO, reaching the fix eight minutes after the first aircraft has gone
past the fix. You elect not to hold, which puts you eight minutes in
trail where the minimum separation is ten minutes.

This is acceptable and expected under the circumstances? (neutral question)
