Ive just noticed a fairly strong carrier on 137.28MHz which seems to be an odd frequency not used very much. A bit of searching shows Cosmos 1602 (launched 1984) is a possibility. 1602 was definitely visible at the time here according to the tracking so this is a frequency to keep an eye on.

Real time satellite tracking for: COSMOS 1602

Hmm might have been one of the Orbcom telephony birds - Ive just noticed it again with the distinct pulse signature of an Orbcom on 137.55MHz. Cosmos 1602 is down off South America near the Falklands this time!
