Looks like there are only three folks on the ISS now:
Commander Gennady Padalka, RN3DT Scott Kelly Mikhail Kornienko, RN3BF
Kelly is not a ham, right? So since Field Day is a US/CA event mostly, it's very unlikely the Russians will get on, right?

P.S. I found this video of Astronaut Reid Wiseman talking about his field day contacts from last year. One thing I found especially interesting is that he said afterwards he got on for random contacts about once a week. I didn't hear anyone reference this in previous correspondence on the topic. [1] [2] It's always exciting to hear of increased possibilities.

P.P.S Here is a teaser video I made of an SO-50 pass I recorded for a new YouTube channel I am slowly creating
Its free to try it...couple of good US passes during Field Day.
Is the voice freq still split, with up 144.490 for US and 145.800 downlink?
