I have tried to work ISS on voice but no luck.
I find this unusual as I have auto antenna and doppler control and more power then I need.
I have never made a call to ISS or shuttle and not got an answer.
I am guessing that either there is so many hams trying to work Richard, or he is listening on another frequency????

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.
