Based on the info given, I'm not sure where the hold is. The only thing he stated was he was navigating the airway based on the service volume of the GHI VOR. If GHI is where the hold is, I agree that 1(iv) applies for the routing. Continue to XYZ based on para 1 and 2, then fly the approach to the FILED/CLEARED
airport based on para 3.
It's easy to get tripped up on 3(i) although in this example a clearance to the airport served by GHI was never received.
I can't imagine losing VHF, HF, SATCOM, ACARS, and cell phone coverage
