Looks like it should be easy, just need a 2m receiver capable of SSB (they're transmitting at 145.8 MHz), a computer with sound card and some free software. We have all the necessary stuff at 10Bit. See http://www.ariss.org/news.html If I read it correctly it's this Saturday from 5am to 4pm local time (1000z to 2100z). However it doesn't look like we'll have any overhead passes during that time period.. See:

(click the "All" radio button otherwise you will only see naked eye optically visible passes)
Speaking of ham radio and space, I used to do ham radio over low earth orbit satellites (basically an orbiting repeater). It's pretty easy, would anyone be interested in seeing a demo or something? I'd be willing to set it up sometime.
Cheers,
Jeremy
