Alicia Soderberg (Princeton), Poonam Chandra (U. Virginia), and Dale
Frail (NRAO) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
"We observed the field of GRB 080319B (GCN 7427) with the Very
Large Array beginning at Mar 21.56 UT. At 4.86 GHz we detect a radio
source coincident with the optical afterglow position (GCN 7428) at
coordinates (J2000):
RA = 14 31 41.01 +/- 0.05
Dec = 36 18 09.7 +/- 0.4
with flux density 189 +- 39 microJy. Further observations are scheduled.
