Palliyaguru (TTU) report on behalf of a larger GROWTH collaboration:\n\nWe observed the field of SSS17a/DLT17ck (e.g., Coulter et al. LVC GCN 21529; Allam et al. LVC GCN 21530; \nYang et al. LVC GCN 21531), the possible counterpart of G298048 (LVC, LVC GCN 21505) in NGC 4993, with \nthe Karl G. Jansky VLA in its B configuration (program 16A-206; PI: Corsi). The observation lasted about \n1.25 hr, starting on 17-Sep-03 23:30:57 UT, and was conducted in C-band (approximate central frequency of \n6 GHz). We report the detection of a radio source with S/N of about 5. This source was not seen in previous \nepochs down to similar limits (e.g. Corsi et al., LVC GCN 21664). The radio position is within the astrometric \nerrors of the optical position of SSS17a. We have confirmed this source through comparison with contemporaneous \nS-band observations reported by Mooley et al. (see companion LVC GCN by Mooley et al.). Further observations \nare planned immediately.\n\nWe thank the VLA staff for scheduling these observations.",
