Narrative:
We were cleared for an ILS 26L approach and advised an air carrier aircraft was six miles ahead of us. ATC asked if we could slow down further or if we would like a vector for spacing. We chose a vector. ATC gave us left turn to 180 degrees; maintain 4200. We then were vectored heading [090]. Next we were given left to 360. Upon reaching heading 360; we got a GPWS alert to 'climb; terrain'. We responded to the alert and climbed to 4800. The captain immediately informed ATC. ATC responded: 'your radio is unreadable'. The captain repeated the transmission and ATC instructed us to turn left and cleared us for the approach again. Landing was uneventful.
