    At 13:28:26 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 150620 ***A*** (trigger=645176).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 306.002, +33.859 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 20h 24m 00s
       Dec(J2000) = +33d 51' 33"
    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 ~9418 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~-10 sec after the trigger.
