<div dir="ltr">Page 66 of the APRS101 document gives two example

<div>The second object parses correctly. The first one does not.</div>

<div>From what I can figure out, the reason is because the first
object doesn't have a valid time stamp. The 101 spec seems to
indicate that Objects require a time stamp. So, is the first
object truly invalid, or is a weather object without a
timestamp a valid exception?</div>

<p>You're right. OBJECTS ';' should have timestamps. Best guess,
this was supposed to be either an ITEM ')BRENDA!' or possibly not
have BRENDA and be just a position (without timestamp) '!' or '='.
I think any of these would be valid?<br>
