Narrative:

Exiting W532 to recover at santa maria after 3+ hours of flight test. We were north end of W532. I proceeded direct guadalupe VOR at 9500 ft to clear the microphone areas and remain north of R2516. Upon reflection and how we entered the pattern we may have impinged on the northwest corner of R-2516.
