I like his final speculation, that makes sense.

Repeating the message three times - the flight radio officer knew that he
had to send it correctly and he did.  But maybe because it should have been
a common group, a new ICAO identifier, he sent it sloppily.  , ETA
SANTIAGO 1745 STCI + by rearranging STEND to STCI and EC to + (AR).

That's darned poor sending if he did that and FRO's were top
notch operators even if they did remove the weights from their bugs and
sent super fast dots and slow dashes as they were known to do - and in
South America that was a practice that persisted into the early 21st
century.
