I've used social engineering before with good results.  You can call up
the trunking system owner and tell them you are interested in their LTR
system for your "company".  Then ask for a list of references.  This is
a fairly common occurrence, and will usually net you the top users of a
particular system.

Saying you are from "Tom's Plumbing Company" and asking for a list of
similar users for references will probably net you the name of that
obscure plumbing company on 02-032 or whatever.

HTH.
