    At 11:06:30 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240311 ***A*** (trigger=1219546).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 299.936, +34.537 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 19h 59m 45s
       Dec(J2000) = +34d 32' 13"
    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 ~1046 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
