Yup, I knew it was 1200 AFSK FM.

Good to know you *almost* demodulated it successfully with WBX.

I rather doubt that I'll be able to get to my groups 60ft dish before
the topic becomes
 uninteresting :-(

But I do have a 70cm YAGI in my store-room somewhere, perhaps I shall
dig it out, and
  wait for a pass over my city to see if I can demodulate the signal!
