If, like me, you're out at work for the ISS passes, then it's still possible to record the SSTV and other modes as the space station passes over.
Leaving your radio on the ISS 2m downlink with an audio cable connected to a PC which is running VoxRecorder will automatically record wav files when the squelch opens.
Just listen or view whatever you missed while you were hard at work at your convenience.

Hi all, Thanks to Bob for all of the information in helping keeping amateur radio alive especially with respect to the our interest in satellites.

Thank you again Bob for all of your time and effort in putting out so much interesting and useful information on this aspect of our hobby. Good Luck to all in following the Richard Garriott mateur radio projects. Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat - UK Amast NA
Why not leave MMSSTV (or whatever) running on the PC?
That's what I'll be doing :-)

A vox recorder will work, however a running SSTV problem will work much better. Just make sure you save the images to disk. Most if not all SSTV programs have an Auto Receive move and will save to disk.
Practice at home sending and receiving images between two radios on your radio bench.
If you have HF you can try to RX on 14.230 SSB, that freq is usually busy with HF sstv.
When you are all set, go to FM 145.800, Robot-36 and leave the rig on 24/7.

I will be leaving both running. Get to see the images instantly and then record the audio if needed later. Also, if you can set it up, windows remote desktop would allow you to view the image as it appears during the pass from another computer via the internet.

I guess like everyone else I am looking forward to Richard Garriott getting up to the ISS and starting to beam down the pictures!
Two years ago when the SSTV system started for a short period, myself and David Barber (G8OQW) were fortunate to ("apparently" (so we were told)) be two of the only hams in the UK to successfully download images; that in itself made for considerable publicity for the hobby so if anyone would like to read an article that I wrote and see some of the pictures that we received then please click here! http://www.m0zlb.com/articles.htm
Please be aware that the article was written in basic terms for an audience consisting of mainly non-hams but the pictures are nice :-)
