It depends on the crew how active the ISS is. The current crew is not very active. When they are, you can find them on 2 meters. Frequency and additional information on the ISS amateur radio operations is available at http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/reference/radio/. The crew's schedule is often available at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html to give you an idea of when they are awake.

Hello, I didn't follow the satellite and related chat lately. I just wanted to know if voice contacts in the amateur bands from ISS crew are common or not. And if they do use amateur radio, what band is used? What are the best UTC interval to catch them? Thanks in advance and best regards
