You're in a remote area, you're high enough to make a radio call, but don't know how much lower you can be and still communicate, so you want to notify *someone* of your predicament. So you tune 121.5 and say...???? An interesting question, particularly if you can't confirm that you're OK (or not) after landing. However, since you are not in any immediate danger, neither mayday nor pan-pan would be appropriate. On the whole you are probably best to keep quiet and activate your emergency locator if necessary.
