A couple of years ago, I started putting (SK) after a QSL manager's callsign
if that manager had passed away, but there was no further QSL information
available.  If the DX station asked for QSLs direct, then the manager was
removed completely. By putting the (SK) in there, it it supposed to give the
user at least some sort of lead if they want to try to track down the logs
to confirm and old QSO.  The (SK) also prevents the manager's mailing
address from going into the database.

I have recently run into a different case, where the manager may not have
passed away, but the callsign either expired or was cancelled for some
reason. I don't know how to indicate this in the QSL manager database.  The
mailing address might still be good, but the manager is no longer a ham.
Any suggestions as to what I should do with these?
