Tilanus (Joint Astronomy Centre) \nreport on behalf of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) GRB collaboration:\n \nWe used the SCUBA sub-millimeter continuum bolometer array on the JCMT to \nobserve the variable radio source VLA J0702+3850 proposed by Taylor et al. \n(GCN #40) as the radio afterglow to GRB 980329.\n \nOn UT 1998 April 5.2 we detected a source at 850 microns with a preliminary \nflux density of 5 +/- 1.5 mJy.  This source was confirmed on April 6.2 with \na flux density of 4 +/- 1.2 mJy, resulting in an average of 4.5 +/- 1 mJy \nover the two days.  The 850 micron source is present in all our separate \nintegrations making us confident it is real.  A hint of a fading trend \nappears to be confirmed by observations on April 7.2 when the (preliminary)\n850 micron flux density was 2 +/- 0.8 mJy. \n\nThe source was not detected at 450 microns with a preliminary rms of 10.0 \nmJy averaged over the first two days.\n\nAssuming these fluxes are due to the burst counterpart, they should represent\n\"clean\" measures of its intensity, unaffected by scintillation and extinction.  \nMonitoring with SCUBA is continuing.\n\nWe wish to thank Dr. L. Avery and Dr. J. MacLeod for their cooperation and\nvaluable help in obtaining these observations, and Dr. G. Watt and Dr. I. \nRobson for rapidly scheduling the observations.\n\nThis report may be cited in publications.",
