[aprssig] APRS Object format

[Eric Lorenz K9LGE]

Bob...

Thanks for the help...am setting it up now. If you don't mind, I am 
going to put the string here...do I have it right?

Our coords are 41.864495/-88.428977

;FD-FRRL  *111111z4186.44N/-88428.97W;147.210MHz W9NE-8A


Also, 2 questions-

1)I am assuming that I need to set MYCALL to be ID-legal...do I set that 
to my callsign, or the club's?

2) Do/can I put anything in BTEXT?

Thanks,
Eric K9LGE
