I'm trying to find an expired call sign. If anyone has an old FCC
database, I'd appreciate someone looking up the call sign KU5588.

This call sign is accessing a local GMRS repeater. I assume the
person's license is expired. If so, they no longer have GMRS operating
priveleges and need reported to the FCC for violations.

I tried a google search for the call sign and came up with nothing.
Then I tried the call sign for my old CB FCC call sign. Still nothing.
Then, I put in an obscure call sign. Its a call sign for a micro-wave,
studio to transmitter link for a commercial station. Wallaaa! Tons
of information.

That doesn't mean that KU5588 doesn't exist, just that google can't
find it. But all the obscure call signs I put in that I know are good,
google found them. Maybe a co-winkidink.

I've tried 6 ways to sunday too. I'll probably just send in a complaint to
the FCC with what I have, and if they can fill in the blanks, then good.
Otherwise I'll just have to let it go.

Even if you located information on who was licensed as KU5588, that
doesn't mean they couldn't have sold the equipment to someone else. It
could have easily passed through several hands by now.

Expect to be underwhelmed with an FCC response.

My suggestion would be to change PL or possibly to DPL.

They are IDing in voice. I am assuming they own the repeater.

They could have made up the call or the system may have had a sticker or
marking on it with that call sign that was never taken off and the
current users just thought they could assume that call.

Are they aware of your presence on the frequency. IOW, when you say
something will there conversation indicate they heard what you said?

They may have PL or DPL on their system and have no idea you are on the
frequency.

Listen to their conversations and take notes. Often times, they will
reveal information about themselves such as phone numbers, names,
locations, etc.

John;
Send me an e-ail with the frequency and the City. I have the PRSG red
national repeater guide from1997. If the call is in there I will let you
know. By the way, I think something is wrong with the number. Usually
they are like KU/_X_/5588. X being a missing letter in the prefix.
You could also ask the PRSG (google his website) if he has old records
of callsigns. I bet he does.

You just have too small a circle of acquaintences.
