Well that makes sense and this is the first time in 15852 contacts I have
heard of this but I did find 12 contacts in my log with JJ00aa, so a very
worthwhile find and I appreciate the explanation.
Now I'm going to look so much smarter tomorrow at lunch with the other local
hams J when I ask then to check their logs!
Thanks guys

That is exactly right, the first few JJ 00aa I looked at in DXKeeper
were all over the place, England/France/New Zeland/Guyana etc.

JJ00aa is a grid on QRZ which is referenced too frequent for it to be
a mistake entered by a human. Something must be triggered on QRZ to
set a grid square to be JJ00aa.
If you have a lot of QSOs logged in DXKeeper and use QRZ to assign the
grid square, do a filter on grids with JJ00aa and you'll possibly find
a bunch.
Normally after a contest and a batch import followed by a QRZ'ing of
the imported records, I specifically filter for JJ00aa and look to
find a more accurate grid square.

Yes, the location on QRZ.com is wrong. They show JJ00aa and it

OK03la. QRZ.com locations are thought to be more accurate but not if
whoever entered the data made a mistake as is obviously the case here.
Just click the "Go" button on DXView and it should give you a much
better location that is more than close enough for a good HF beam
heading to Thailand and not out in the Atlantic ocean off the West
coast
of Africa.

DXV changed to show the heading of 348 and grid of OK04mm just for
a split
second then changed to heading of 90 degrees and a grid of JJ00aa
Looking at QRZ via Pathfinder it indicates the location off the
west coast
of Africa
