    At 12:03:23 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 220118 ***A*** (trigger=1093693).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 245.136, -15.846 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 16h 20m 33s
       Dec(J2000) = -15d 50' 44"
    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 ~7918 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~-1 sec after the trigger.
