Jupiter was observed before, during, and after the July 1994 impacts of Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9. Observations were made with the HartRAO 26-m antenna at 3.5 and 6.0 cm. In agreement with observations at other wavelengths, an increase in the total flux density was seen at both wavelengths during the impact week, followed by a slow decay. At 6.0 cm the nonthermal flux density was found to increase by 1.1 +/- 0.1 Jy (~40%) and at 3.5 cm by 1.5 +/- 0.1 Jy (>75%). The relaxation of the flux density to preimpact levels was found to decay with an exponential lifetime of 215 +/- 10 days at 6.0 cm and at 300 +/- 15 days at 3.5 cm. The exponential decay time is considerably shorter, however, during the first few months after the impacts. In addition, pronounced variations in the flux density at both wavelengths were seen during the first two months after the impacts, with a significant increase in the flux density about 85 days after the last impact.
