\"ISS<\/a>Young people at Bampton School in Devon will get an opportunity to use amateur radio to talk to an astronaut on the International Space Station on Tuesday, October 8.<\/p>\n

The school has tweeted:
\n\u201cThe news we\u2019ve 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<\/a> KI5AAA. Questions are with NASA & we\u2019ll let you know who\u2019ll be asking them very soon!\u201d<\/em>

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:
\nSUWS Farnham WebSDR http:\/\/farnham-sdr.com\/<\/a>
\nGoonhill https:\/\/vhf-goonhilly.batc.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The contact is planned to be streamed live at https:\/\/live.ariss.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n
