BeppoSAX mail n.00/10: GRB ALERT: GRB000528 On May 28 at 08:46:35 UT a strong and long burst (GRB000528) was detected by GRBM and WFC2 (2-26 keV). The position is: R.A.= 161.354 Decl.= -34.002 with an error radius of 4'. The follow-on is technically feasible, but the unavailability of Mission Planners during Sunday and the switching-off of instruments during weekend nights doesn't allow a useful and fast repointing of satellite (see GCN 634).
