Question about SF High Altitude ATC

[HopperD]

Today I was listening to San Francisco high altitude ATC on 8843 and noticed that they are not using the regular flight numbers. Instead they are using the numbers listed below to identify the flight.

I listen to this quite often and like tracking high altitude flights on FlightAware, especially international flights.

Anyone know what these ID numbers are and how to track them in FlightAware or other App?

This is the only frequency I noticed this on, all of the others are business as usual.

N222LX
N851GG
N482JM
HL7526
N484JM
N415QS
N675BP

Because those are business jets not commercial airliners. Their FAA registration is their callsign
