Narrative:

I was in communication with ZZZ center; I checked in and the check in was acknowledged. With covid I have become accustomed to long periods of silence on the radio. After a while; I think about 30 minutes; I realized it had been too long since I heard a radio communication. So I tried to raise ZZZ center; but received no reply. I asked any aircraft on my last assigned frequency if they would ask center what frequency I should be using. A helpful pilot relayed that frequency; and at the new frequency I was able to contact ZZZ1 center. There were no further issues after that.
