Narrative:

Departed ypq and flew 220 degree heading to intercept 360 degree right of buf. Turned to 210 degree heading to avoid clouds. Intercepted 360 degree right off buf at 34 me DME. ZOB then asked for identify on code 5753. Center then alerted me that I was within R5203 by 4 mi. I stated that I didn't agree, but asked for closest heading out. Did not receive reply, so I made a turn to 270 degrees and climbed to 13300' to get over clouds. Continued direct to dkk 020 degree right.
