Wouldn't be so surprising.... Remember that HM01 broadcasts for TWO HOURS on 14375 (05 - 07 UT). Since the main broadcast runs about 45 -50 minutes (22 - 25 minutes for each repeating segment of number series), there is much 'down time' between the end of the 05 UT broadcast and the beginning of the 06 UT broadcast. The carrier is ALWAYS on during the down time, so if there is anything that hits a potentially open microphone, it WILL be transmitted via shortwave. Note that the broadcasts can NOT be done automatically: someone has to be around to push the buttons, etc. to make sure the appropriate frequencies go on at the appropriate UT (while perhaps monitoring other not so clandestine transmissions from apparently co-located RHC, which is still on up to and beyond 0659 UT on several frequencies). Lots of things can happen during this down time -- a crossed wire, etc. Who knows?
Nice pickup -- but my main reason for listening is to try to figure out what they'll do next regarding the number sequences, not to find the mythical 'Pedro'....
