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.

 

[Mark]

I was close guys.. 793255 is ex Army DHC-6 #79-23255.. Forgot the extra Army digit.
Thanks to the Dutch boys at Scramble.

2030 local SPUR 72 inbound McGuire from Pittsburgh 171ARW KC-135 58-0074.

I forget the acronym for SPUR,something like Special Priority User Request or something like that.

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

There is a AR-20 Eastbound Res tonight 11:00PM-01:00AM local up North.
Could be for the SPURS. Guessing a SPUR 71 KC-10 from McGuire may join them but just conjecture.
