Default lost comm Q

lets say you have gotten your CRAFT, and it is 'cleared to opa locka via RV, climb and maintain 3,000, expect 6,000 after 10 mins' (we are comign from FXE lets say)

so you take off, they say 'fly heading 090' and BAM radios go out.

we are in IMC for the whole trip

what do I do?

fly as filed, after the last VOR I hit, fly to a IAF and shoot an app? (if you look on the chart, there is really no airway that'll take me o the IAF for OPF 9L ILS, i'd have to fly some radial to get to it)

here is the chart for it:

when we go there, we'll usually just file DHP and thats it

if this happened to me, what I would do is I would get on that 315 radial off DHP hold at IAF until ETA (I guess hold on 315 radial?), then I would go ahead and shoot the app. for alt, i would climb to 3,000 and go upto 6,000 after 10 mins (what alt should I be at while holding for my ETA to come up?)
