Hey!
Don't fret none...
Over here, we've a new set of "lost comm" procedures as well.. .It's called "Flaming Wreckage"...
According to the North American Air Defense Command, within minutes of ATC notifying them of a lost comm, or some poor schmuck who just sloshed his or her coffee into the transponder head, causing it to go besirk, you'll be met by a pair of F-16's and if you don't comply you'll be blasted into metallic mist, all in the name of Homeland Security.
Knowing my luck, I'll be IMC, knee deep in the soup with my time comes and I won't even see the poor fellow who pulls the trigger...
All in the name of Homeland Security, of course...
