Actually, that still isn't quite right. You can't have more than 60 minutes.
Or were you quoting the original mis-configured coordinates?

;FD-FRRL  *111111z4151.87N/088258.74W;147.210MHz W9NE 8A

Ummm... should one be advertising a repeater frequency in a FD
object, or a simplex frequency. I suppose if it's a "talk in" frequency
instead of an operating frequency, it would be alright.
