The procedure starts at 37 DME, it was the subject of the SAFO (InFO?) letter and specifically says G/S intercept of 2200' unless 4000' authorized by ATC.

Copy 4,000'
Here are the two ESVs for HQB:
GS069/-/D10/40/80GS069/-/D25/40/80
Read that as the 069R at 10 & 25 DME between 4000-8000
I can see someone messing that up and thinking they could ride the GS down for afar if they *think* they are receiving it.
