data = EAS2Text("ZCZC-WXR-SPS-024043-024021-024013-024005-024001-024025-051840-051069-054027-054065-054003-054037-054057+0600-0231829-WACN    -")
print(f"{data.EASText}")

should output:

oof = EAS2Text("ZCZC-WXR-SPS-024043-024021-024013-024005-024001-024025-051840-051069-054027-054065-054003-054037-054057+0600-0231829-WACN    -")

## RAW Data output
print(f"RAW Data: {oof.EASData}") ## Input Data
print(f"RAW ORG: {oof.org}") ## Raw Originator Code: ZCZC-{ORG}-EVN-PSSCCC-PSSCCC+TTTT-JJJHHMM-CCCCCCCC-

print(f"RAW FIPS: {oof.FIPS}")  ## Raw FIPS Code(s) in a list: ZCZC-ORG-EVN-{PSSCCC-PSSCCC}+TTTT-JJJHHMM-CCCCCCCC-
print(f"Purge Time: {oof.purge}") ## Purge Time in a list format of HH, MM: ZCZC-ORG-EVN-PSSCCC-PSSCCC+{TTTT}-JJJHHMM-CCCCCCCC-
print(f"RAW TIMESTAMP: {oof.timeStamp}") ## RAW Timestamp: ZCZC-ORG-EVN-PSSCCC-PSSCCC+TTTT-{JJJHHMM}-CCCCCCCC-

## Parsed Data Output
print(f"TEXT ORG: {oof.orgText}") ## A Human-Readable Version of ORG
print(f"TEXT EVNT: {oof.evntText}") ## A Human Readable Version of EVN

print(f"TEXT Start Time: {oof.startTimeText}") A Start-Time Tag in the format of "HH:MM AM/PM MONTH_NAME DD, YYYY"
print(f"TEXT End Time: {oof.endTimeText}")
print(f"{oof.EASText}")
