First Mike, you are in EN81gq, per QRZ.com, and second you dont need the last 2

I would avoid using QRZ.com *if you want your 6 digit grid locator*....

I discovered they use the geographical center of your zip code, or some other method that isn't accurate. It's easy enough to get your lat-long from google earth and plug it into the Amsat grid calculator as well....
