The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observed short GRB 231117A (Laha et al., GCN 35071) as part of the Large ATCA "PanRadio GRB" follow-up programme C3542 (PI. Anderson) starting at 2023-11-17 04:00UT for 11hours.



We detect a radio source with a flux density of ~210uJy/beam at 9GHz at coordinates consistent with both those given by the XRT and the Lulin Observatory (A.P. Beardmore et al., GCN 35074; S. Yang et al., GCN 35083).



Further observations are planned.



We thank the CSIRO Space and Astronomy staff for supporting these observations.
