The unusual things I see are the 'T' where the '/' or '\' should be between latitude and longitude (didn't consult the spec to see whether that was valid or what it means), and the "PHG" is too long... I think you need a space between the PHG numbers and the comment. I don't know why it says "Unknown message type K", as the only K's I see are in the callsigns.

Ah, consulted the spec: 'T' is an alpha overlay, so that part should be good.
