[aprssig] APRS Object format

[Eric Lorenz K9LGE]

Actually, I'm not sure I got the location right...I used the decimal 
equivalent, but not sure that was what you were asking for...

The coords are....
41d 51m 52.18s N
88d 25m 44.32s W

so would it be 4151.52N/08825.44W?

Thanks again, for the help!
