Between it, and links referenced in it, that seems to be a good starting point. More information is also in the 2017 update of AMSAT's Getting Started with Amateur Satellites book, but that won't help you for tonight - unless you were at Dayton last weekend, and bought a copy there.
Good luck, and 73!

Hello,
I have just purchased and installed the UISS packet program. There will be a 72deg pass at 7:16PM Eastern time tonight (5/29). I would love to try making my first contact through the ISS but have never done it before and need some guidance on how to set up UISS for such a contact. Also if somebody is available during that time to help me try it out. Thank you.
