[aprssig] Object Timestamps and 111111

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

Thank you.  These are the details that need to be on a web page 
somewhere.  I googled for it at aprs.org, but came up empty.  If we 
really want to see new client software developed, there really needs to 
be a one-stop definition of EVERYTHING that has evolved to date.  Not a 
list of "ideas" with no indication of what's really in use and what's 
just future thoughts and ramblings.

(Yes, I believe it's time for aprs102.pdf or something equivalent to be 
authored with FULL details of what's real)
