Mir is currently unoccupied, so you won't hear anything there.  Try for
UO-14, AO-27 or SO-35 (SO-35 should be on for scheduled passes this
weekend).

UO-14 is 145.975 uplink, 435.070 downlink.
SO-35 is 436.291 uplink, 145.825 downlink.

I don't know AO-27, as it's not available in my part of the world, but
plenty of others can help there.
