Devon school students to contact ISS
The school has tweeted:
“The news we’ve all been waiting for: @BamptonSCH contact with @Space_Station will take place Tues 8th October at 13:51:26. Children will be asking questions to astronaut @AstroDrewMorgan KI5AAA. Questions are with NASA & we’ll let you know who’ll be asking them very soon!”

The ISS contact with G2LV at the school should be receiveable across the British Isles and North West Europe on 145.800 MHz FM (Note ISS uses 5 kHz FM deviation so wider RX filter for 25 kHz channel spacing is better).
The contact is currently planned for Tuesday, October 8 at 12:51:26 GMT (1:51 PM BST) but as with all ISS contacts last minute changes can take place.
It should be possible to receive the 145.800 MHz signal online from anywhere in the world by using a UK-based WebSDR such as:
SUWS Farnham WebSDR http://farnham-sdr.com/
Goonhill https://vhf-goonhilly.batc.org.uk/
The contact is planned to be streamed live at https://live.ariss.org/
