    At 17:40:33 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 220319 ***A*** (trigger=1098132).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 218.207, +61.289 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 14h 32m 50s
       Dec(J2000) = +61d 17' 20"
    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 ~1867 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
