Taylor (NRAO) report:\n\nWe have detected a near infrared counterpart to the variable radio\nsource detected at the VLA by Taylor et al. (see GCNC#40),\nthe R-band source reported by Djorgovski et al. (see GCNC#41), and\nthe possible I-band transient reported by Klose (GCNC#43).  Preliminary\nanalysis of observations obtained on UT 1998 April 02 and April 03 at\nthe Keck-I 10-m telescope reveal a K = 21.0 mag source that does not\nshow strong variations (delta K < 0.5 mag).  The infrared, optical and radio\npositions all agree to within the astrometric uncertainties of about \n0.5 arcsecond.\n\nWe suggest that a possible explanation for the relatively red color\nof the host galaxy (R-K = 4.7 mag) and the lack of optical transient \ndetections may be dust obscuration.\n\nThis note can be cited.",
