Give your grid square in the "contest setting" dialog window (the window 
where you give your callsign, select the contest you are going to 
operate, etc).

If you don't know what your grid square is, you can convert it from the 
latitude/longitude of your QTH here: http://www.amsat.org/cgi-bin/gridconv
