[IGSMAIL-6661] Re: New GLONASS-743 activated (as R08)

[Richard B. Langley]

Author: Richard Langley

Note that, physically, GLONASS 743 is still in orbital slot 2,  
although on activation it has been assigned almanac slot 8. GLONASS  
743 had to be assigned a previously unused frequency channel (-6) so  
it woud not interfere with GLONASS 742 in physical and almanac slot 4  
(antipodal to slot 8), using channel +6.
