11.175 is busy with EAMs tonight. Probably E-6B 163918 over western KY. And now RCH663 is trying to contact MAINSAIL. Got a reply from ACTIVATE who has been passing the messages.
MAINSAIL finally replying to RCH663 for a SELCAL check on FQBE.

RCH663 not hearing them well and likewise for MAINSAIL.
MAINSAIL saying they are unable to complete the request.

VXS-1 Navy test guys 'Warlocks" Pax River added another aircraft to their test squadron.
A Twin Otter DH6-C type or UV-18 mil lingo.
Low and slow but may catch someday with a Warlock callsign.

Thanks Terry,haven't logged it yet but now know what to look for :)
That callsign seems to be the tail as well.793255 but was curious where they got it from.
VXS-1 Warlocks
Sometimes Navy will convert a US or Army type to 6 digit Navy tail say 79-3255 etc.

Google search seems to confirm the SPUR definition as you indicated.
