\n\nWe report VLA radio observations of EP241217a. Following the Einstein Probe (EP) detection (GCN 38586) and subsequent X-ray detections by Swift/XRT (GCN 38596, 38624), we conducted radio follow-up observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).\n\nWe detected a point radio source at the position reported by the EP/FXT and Swift/XRT on 2024 December 21 UT01:00. Data calibration used the VLA calibration and imaging pipeline in CASA 6.5.4.9. The preliminary analysis suggests a flux density of 20±6.6 microJy (at 3 GHz), 58±4 microJy (at 6 GHz) and 99.3±4.1 microJy at 10 GHz.\n\nWe have obtained multi-band, multi-epoch VLA monitoring observation time and are conducting long-term monitoring of this interesting object.\n\nWe thank the TAC and operations team of VLA for making these observations in a timely manner. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.",
