    At 02:48:59 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 201024 ***A*** (trigger=1001514).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 125.948, +3.377 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 08h 23m 47s
       Dec(J2000) = +03d 22' 38"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1531 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
