    <p><tt>Dear all,</tt></p>
    <p><tt>Since the start of 2017 the "17g" Glonass navigation files
        have been reporting epochs with an incorrect epoch, always wrong
        by "1.0" second, this is due to an old version of teqc being
        used for the generation of the "17g" files.</tt></p>
    <p><tt>This comes about because the Glonass navigation files are in
        UTC ...</tt> (thanks to Lou Estey for the explanation)<br>
      see Table A11 ...

      i.e. the ephemeris time for a GLONASS navigation ephemeris is in

      <br>
      version of teqc is being used, it does not know about recent leap
      second insertions into

    <p><tt>If you operate a station with Glonass data and generate Rinex
        2 Glonass navigation files please update your teqc version to
        the latest one as found here;</tt></p>

    <p>the affected stations in the CDDIS repository is as follows for a
      recent day, if you see your station PLEASE update the teqc ASAP
      since its affecting everyone using the "brdc..17g" files each day;</p>
