Key up on the frequency in question with an "Attention any aircraft this
frequency, this is Piper 56993, apparently I've lost comm with the
Center,
could you relay a message to ATC for me?"


And when nobody answers? This was in the wee hours.


You should be phrasing your question: "if" nobody answers, not "when"
nobody answers. The wee hours around ATL and ZTL finds aircraft on
frequency all night. I imagine ZAU and C90 have about the same traffic
around the clock these days. Even Sunday night/ Monday wee early morning
has some traffic on the freq almost every minute.

If in the very unlikely event that the ATC freq is somehow devoid of air
traffic, then try it again on Guard.
