Perry,
They are working the published frequencies. Working them is a combination of having a good station, skill, and in my case, some dumb luck. I was setting things up for another day of automated capture of the SSTV when I heard them give a CQ. 10 seconds of grabbing the mouse, headset, and bringing the SATPC32ISS program to the top, a quick call, and I had my QSO. I called several times previously with no luck. As others have noted, they are mixing voice and SSTV, and I have heard others "tail end" a SSTV picture very successfully.
