Extract

Following the detection of a high flux density from Saturn at 21.2 cm by Davies and Williams and the confirmation by Kellermann, it has been known that the radio emission from Saturn is enhanced at long wavelengths. The Molonglo cross telescope has searched for this emission at 73.5 cm on two occasions, the first in 1967 November when the planet was stationary, and the second during the opposition of 1968 October. Between these dates, installation of preamplifiers on the EW arm doubled the sensitivity of the cross so that although the same procedures were used on both occasions, this paper is based almost entirely on the recent results.
