Yes, that's also the website where I got the "Galileo GST-UTC offset" 
(viewPanel=19) information from. If my interpretation is correct, they seem to 
repetitively program the satellites to broadcast a slightly decreasing GST-UTC 
offset, while after every day the offset is in fact higher instead of lower, 
and they have to step the number up and do the same thing again.
 
But why?

Cheers,
