Guadeloupe 252deg Azi from UK so how can this be?

Hi there,
I noticed a funny thing just now appear on the DX Cluster, I'd just heard 196HS138-Bernard on 17m so decided to spot him.

As I keep the HS 4 web page dx cluster open too I saw that 6HS773 had also spotted him but the curious thing was that the azimuth was also 252deg and the distance was the same at 6603km!?!?

Now I wasn't great at geography & admittedly it has got better thanks to HF radio but how can someone in Columbia point 252deg to Guadeloupe?
It would surely be somewhere between 30-60 deg surely?, or at least somewhere around there?

I probably wouldn't have noticed to be honest had my spot been right next to the one by 6HS773-Luz Mery, anyone else notice anything like this ever?

Best Regards, Andy

I have to follow up this post, I'm not sure what I was drinking when I posted it but of course both headings are from my qth,

Don't ask me why but for some reason I had read the heading on 6HS773's spot as his heading to Guadeloupe, this of course is not correct.

Thank you Vic - VE3JAR for pointing this out to me, thank you for your help sir, it's very much appreciated.

Best regards, Andy 73s
