A radio burst with peculiar polarization behaviour in July 1974

Observing the total solar flux at 17 GHz a radio burst with unusual polarization characteristics (e.g. correlation of intensity maxima with maxima of polarization degree) has been recorded. The discussion shows that there is a possibility for a small optical depth of the source for at least one propagation mode during the burst maximum. Furthermore it could be found that the emission has been caused probably by synchroton radiation with a power law electron energy distribution (N(?)～? ^?γ) with γ≈4.
