Narrative:
FSDO left a message on my answering machine at home that I had flown through an active restr area, and requested I call them. We have been playing telephone tag since then. The only restr area near my flight that day was R4401A&B. I knew it was active from my FSS briefing, and kept hagler aaf visible out the right side of my plane as I flew heading 360 degrees past R4401A&B. I therefore knew I was clear of the restr area. If their radar showed me in, then I attribute it to inaccuracies inherent in radar/atcrbs tracking. If they believe I violated a different restr area, it is not charted, or they tracked the wrong aircraft.

Narrative: FSDO LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE AT HOME THAT I HAD FLOWN THROUGH AN ACTIVE RESTR AREA, AND REQUESTED I CALL THEM. WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING TELEPHONE TAG SINCE THEN. THE ONLY RESTR AREA NEAR MY FLT THAT DAY WAS R4401A&B. I KNEW IT WAS ACTIVE FROM MY FSS BRIEFING, AND KEPT HAGLER AAF VISIBLE OUT THE R SIDE OF MY PLANE AS I FLEW HDG 360 DEGS PAST R4401A&B. I THEREFORE KNEW I WAS CLR OF THE RESTR AREA. IF THEIR RADAR SHOWED ME IN, THEN I ATTRIBUTE IT TO INACCURACIES INHERENT IN RADAR/ATCRBS TRACKING. IF THEY BELIEVE I VIOLATED A DIFFERENT RESTR AREA, IT IS NOT CHARTED, OR THEY TRACKED THE WRONG ACFT.
