Abstract
An unusual fast oscillation was found superimposed on the solar great burst of 28 March 1976, as measured at 7 GHz. The period of the osculation was 4.7 ± 0.9s, defined over the entire duration of the event. The amplitude of the oscillation was proportional to the flux density, in the range 50 < S < 3000 solar flux units. The degree of circular polarization has not shown any fast periodic time structures.
