[snipped] how is he supposed to get that notification to the controller?



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 if that doesn't work? (My Risk Management training coming to the fore).

Then crash and set off the ELT. We will find you.

Using a 121.5 MHz or 406 MHz ELT?

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.

Chip, ZTL
