Back in my bolder college days, I phoned the operator to ask about certain numbers that would pick up automatically and generate a really damn creepy siren sound. The operator gave me the expected run-around about how my call probably just got lost in the switching somewhere. When I told her that it didn't just happen once or twice, but every time I call these numbers, she didn't really have anything to say about that. End of conversation.
So the point is, if the number is important in any way, then they've already got their bases covered with a story. The thing that suprises me is that this number is posted up on the web, so they must be getting a decent number of unexpected calls. It would be interesting to know if the line is busy from just a single caller, or if it switches you over and keeps the line open for another caller.
I live in PA, so if no one lives closer we'll come up with a plausible story for me and I'll use it on an operator in an attempt to get more information.
