please help monitor ISS conversations

Anybody sitting by their PC's this weekend with spare audio bandwidth,
please real-time monitor ISS/Houston conversations regarding 'Elektron'
oxygen system, via link from Houston Chronicle page,
http://www.chron.com/content/interac.../live/live.ram,
and report results here when you can. Thanks!

Been listening for the past three hours (it's now 2021Z) and nothing
of note. Actually, nothing at all apart from crunchy static -- except
for a couple of minutes just now where there was some talk of pressure
in Progress hoses and lots of goodbyes and thanks for the hard work.
So I wonder if stuff's been going on on the secure channels
(privatised? Is that what they call them?).

Incidentally, that is a noisy link which is hard to listen to for any
length of time when nothing's happening. I've taken to using a free
Windows utility, scanrec - http://www.davee.com/scanrec/ , which has
its own squelch and will spool as much audio to disk with the silences
taken out as you've got room for. You may have to loop line out to
line in on your audio card.
