R. J. Beswick, T. W. B. Muxlow, M. K. Argo, and A. Pedlar, Jodrell Bank Observatory; and J. M. Marcaide, University of Valencia, report the radio detection of SN 2004et at 4.994 GHz, using a subset of the MERLIN array. A compact radio source at R.A. = 20h35m25s.360, Decl. = +60o07'17".74 (equinox 2000.0, ± 0".04 in each coordinate) is consistent with the radio position reported by Stockdale et al. (IAUC 8415). MERLIN 4.994-GHz radio-flux measurements for SN 2004et are: Sept. 30-Oct. 13, 0.4 ± 0.3 mJy; Oct. 15-17, 0.61 ± 0.4; Oct. 18-20, 1.55 ± 0.3; Oct. 25-27, 1.31 ± 0.4; Oct. 27-28, 1.34 ± 0.4; Oct. 29-30, 1.55 ± 0.3; Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 1.89 ± 0.3, Nov. 2, 2.39 ± 0.3. MERLIN and VLA radio monitoring is continuing.
