I tried such a script some time ago, but I ran into the problem that the
regulatory
authority now allows people to change their callsign at any time, and publishes
no records of those changes. When I lookup someone by their old callsign, it
just says "Expired" and there is no indication that the same person now has
another
callsign.
This made me reluctant to delete address assignments based on that lookup.
Maybe it is different in the USA?
