Prescott radio can be a bit weird sometimes
, but using November is usual when calling FSS.
Nothing wrong with sticking November on the front of things, controllers will say it all the time. If on initial callup you say 'November 12345' they appear to have some mouse click thing they can use to look up your type (and name, date of birth, inside leg... ), but generally they will take the easy option and come back with SAY AIRCRAFT TYPE (with occasionally 'AND EQUIPMENT SUFFIX'). Had one the other day who had never heard of a cutlass, sometimes easier to say 172 for any cessna with poor performance.
