    $\begingroup$ If you are not actively talking to somebody, always switch to 121.5, the nearest ATC facility will be listening to that. If you are already talking to somebody, just keep talking to them. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Being in uncontrolled airspace doesn't mean that ATC won't be able to hear you. Monitoring of 121.5 is extensive, so there is a very good chance they'll be able to hear you regardless of where you are. If not, they likely won't hear you on any other frequency either. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I'd contact the nearest TRACON ("approach") or ARTCC ("center") $\endgroup$
