From Bernard Schott, Dec 28 2018: (Start)

By Wolstenholme's Theorem, if p prime >= 5, the numerator of the harmonic number H_{p-1} is always divisible by p^2. The obtained quotients are in A061002.

The numerators of H_7 and H_{29} are also divisible by prime squares, respectively by 11^2 and 43^2, but not in the case of Wolstenholme's theorem, so the denominators of H_7 and H_{29} are not in this sequence here. (End)

Example

a(1)=12 because the numerator of H_4 = 25/12 is divisible by the square of 5;
a(2)=20 because the numerator of H_6 = 49/20 is divisible by the square of 7.
