Decametric observations of Jupiter were made at frequencies from 16.7 to 32 MHz from the Maipu Radio Astronomy Observatory in Chile, the University of Florida Radio Observatory, and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California before, during, and after the collision of comet Shoemaker‐Levy 9 with the planet. No significant change in the general level of Jovian decametric activity that might be attributed to the comet was observed. However, single bursts of possibly Jovian origin appeared at two of the 12 fragment impact times during which we were observing. We are attempting to establish more definitely whether these two bursts really were Jovian, and assuming that they were, we are tentatively modeling the circumstances of their emission.
