"Huh?"

Puzzle by Harriet Clifton, edited by Will Shortz
YOUREBREAKINGUP (20A. “Huh?”); CANYOUHEARMENOW (25A. Comment after 20-Across); IDIDNTCATCHTHAT (44A. Comment after 25-Across); ILLTRYREDIALING (50A. Comment after 44-Across) are the interrelated entries featured in today’s crossword.
“Huh?” could be a clue for just about anything -- I’m not enamored of long entries in crosswords that can be solved only by getting a majority of the crosses and not by their own clue, theorizing what someone may or may not say or have said -- however, here it gets a free pass because of the reference to lost telephone communication or the lack of it. Still, “Huh?”?
