Specififc keostationary orbit

So I got a contract wanting me to send a probe into a keostationary orbit, over a specific area, how do you get it to be over a specific area?

There are such contracts? I received some for KSO, but not for specific area.

Nerdy Jeb mode: you should raise your AP to KSO altitude, having first calculated what part of Kerbin will be satellite above, taking into account time to AP and Kerbin rotation speed, then circularize at AP.

Easy mode: just raise that AP to KSO and wait till you'll get to AP while Kerbin is turned by correct side towards your ship and then make circularization burn.

If contract doesn't require you to be over a specific bush in Kerbin's highlands, then 2nd option should be viable.
