Abstract
THE transient X-ray source A0620—00 reported by Elvis, et al.1 was also detected as a transient radio source at a number of observatories2–5 at frequencies from 962 to 5,000 MHz. We report here the detection of the source at 408 MHz using the Molonglo radio telescope on August 20, 1975. Since the result is based on a single observation we shall discuss the steps taken to ensure that the detection is real.
