WOW
This challenge took me about 15min .. A LOT of luck was involved, I guess.
Decoding the 80s into numbers was straight forward. Looking at them (with 'world' in mind) they seemed like they could be coordinates. One of them starting out with 54 was even better, because Europe and such. Ended up in Russia, tried the village name, the region .. no luck.
I was wondering about the 16 at the beginning. So I searched Wikipedia for all kinds of geo coordinate systems. One looked at least not completely wrong, UTM. The 16 could be the zone .. Converter looks complicated. Hmm, the T would fit the band.
Well, and now I'm here. Again, mostly luck :D
