Thanks for the responses on this questions, but let me resubmit this request
in a slightly different manner.

I heard the voice comms on the talkgroup only twice, but it sounded like a
county or local municipality's local gov't communication, like Animal
Services, Highway Services, Public Works, etc.  While its possible that the
call sign has been removed from the FCC database, as mentioned in the
replies, I don't think its probable.

I suppose what I'm really requesting is if anyone has access to a Percom
type CD database, or even an old Police Call or whatever else and could
possibly check to see what or who this call is/was associated.  As I
mentioned, I've already checked the online FCC databases with no luck.  I
just don't trust the accuracy of the online FCC databases and feel that its
entirely possible that the license has long since expired and the base
station is still using the call, even though now they seem to be on the new
TRS in Montgomery County.  A few legacy systems still have their field units
call into the base station by their old call sign.  A good example is
Baltimore City PD units will occasionally call the dispatcher "KGA" still.
That's what I'm thinking is going on here, and that's basically my basis to
make such a request on this issue.

While I still feel the replies received are valid, I believe we've jumped a
little too far ahead in the search for the possible answer to this question.

Andy
