Dear IGS colleagues!

The absolute IGS antenna correction file (igs08_wwww.atx) has been 
updated. The new release is called 'igs08_1758.atx'. It contains the 
following changes:

1) According to NANU 2013054, Block IIA satellite SVN37 "will resume 
transmitting L-band utilizing PRN30 on approximately 19 SEP 2013". 
Therefore, the following satellite has been added to igs08.atx:

G30 (G037)

The date (currently 18 September 2013 in igs08_1758.atx) might be 
corrected with the next release.
