The radio spectrum of a long-lasting burst observed in the flaring star HR 1099, in the frequency range 1.4 GHz ≤ ν ≤ 15.5 GHz, is interpreted in terms of gyrosynchrotron radiation by mildly relativistic electrons. The observed flux at lower frequencies puts a firm lower limit on the dimension of the source, d ≡ 4-5 R*, making unlikely the hypothesis that the burst, at least at decimetric wavelengths, involves only a small portion of the stellar atmosphere. An electron density NR ∝ R-α in a uniform field B ≡ 100 G perfectly fits the observed points if α = 5.
