Wikipedia gives three formats for Lat & long:

degrees minutes seconds: 40° 26′ 46″ N 79° 58′ 56″ W
degrees decimal minutes: 40° 26.767′ N 79° 58.933′ W
decimal degrees: 40.446° N 79.982° W

Which of these is the Sky Demon format, which seems unlike any of these:

7.2 nm SW Leiston
N520737 E0012604 (W0.2°)

It's not the first, because I tried plugging that into my Garmin 430 (which uses degrees minutes seconds) and it was wrong.
