Aviation question.

I live in Hernando County Fla. I listen to Brooksville-Tampa Bay Airport. Twice so far, I have heard a uscg helo. and a private plane tell the tower something to the effect of "I'm over wago or awogo". I have done some research, and can find nothing as to the meaning. This was heard on approach to the airport.

This is a waypoint on the instrument approach to runway 9. https://www.faa.gov/aero_docs/dtpp/2209/06210R9.PDF#nameddest=(BKV)
OWAGO is the 'final approach fix' at a point 5.2NM from the runway.
