The ISS will be sending Slow Scan TV images on December 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th (not 24/7! Watch video for details or see schedule below). I made a quick video screen capture of Orbitron satellite tracker so you can see if you'll be in range of the ISS when it's sending the images. There will be nine passes over the United States.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
MAI-75 in December
Looks like the MAI-75 folks have scheduled some SSTV activity during specific periods each day from Dec 6-8. The times correlate to a small number of passes each day in range of Moscow.

Dec 6, 2017
Setup and power on – 13:40-14:20 UTC
Power off – 17:05-17:15 UTC

Dec 7, 2017
Power on – 13:45-13:55 UTC
Power off – 17:30-17:40 UTC

Dec 8, 2017
Power on – 14:05-14:15 UTC

Power off and stow – 17:00-17:10 UTC

*UPDATE - Nov 28*
Seems the system will be put through some extended testing from Dec 5 starting around 15:00 UTC and running until 09:00 UTC on Dec 6. Test images will be used during this period. This will provide near global coverage if all works well. The MAI-75 schedule remains unchanged at this point.
