Schulehaus Feld 1 in Richterswil, Switzerland has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Saturday, August 30 at 13:50 UTC. Telebridge station VK4KHZ in Queensland, Australia will assist with the contact. Fifth graders covered the solar system and space in their studies and prepared questions during their English classes. The ARISS contact will be part of a large public event covering several aspects of communication. The school will be part of a project involving radio clubs, the army, the fire brigade, rescue teams and many others. Reporters from newspapers, television and radio stations will be on site.
According to VK4KHZs notes on vklogger, the downlink frequency will be 145.800FM +/- 3khz doppler.

Re: Upcoming ISS contact
When the ISS is in range of VK4KHZ, it will unfortunately be around 5 degrees elevation and in a mutual foot print for about 2 mins in Perth according to my satellite tracker.
Wonder if it will be relayed via Echolink as they do sometimes.
