Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team report:\n\nA SGR-like burst 050808 triggered Konus-Wind \nat 67438.919 s UT (18:43:58.919).\nIt was also detected by Helicon-Coronas-F in the waiting mode.\nWe have triangulated it to a wide annulus centered at\nRA(2000) = 302.888 deg, Decl(2000) = -22.871 deg,\nwhose radius is 31.070 � 3.188 deg (3 sigma).\nAs the center line of this annulus passes 2.46 degrees (2.3 sigma)\nfrom the position of SGR 1806-20\nand the Konus ecliptic latitude response indicates\nthat the source of the burst is near ecliptic plane,\nwe believe that this burst originated from SGR 1806-20.\n\nThe burst had a duration of ~1.1 sec,\nfluence (6.9 � 0.2)10-6 erg/cm2,\nand peak flux on 64-ms time scale (1.2 � 0.3)10-5 erg/cm2 s\n(both in 20-200 keV range).\nThe burst light curve demonstartes nearly linear decline\nduring ~1 s (the burst rise was missed by Konus-Wind;\nthe total burst duration was estimated combining the K-W background\nand trigger data).\n\nThe time-integrated spectrum of the burst can be fitted by the OTTB\nspectral model:\ndN/dE ~ E^{-1} exp(-E/kT),\nwith kT = 18.5 � 0.8 keV.",
