The Wolf-Rayet star, WR147, is known to be bright at x-ray and radio wavelengths. Observations have been made with old MERLIN at 5 GHz on WR147. The object is resolved into two radio sources, separated by 0.6 arcsec, corresponding to a spatial separation of 1100 AU at an assumed distance of 1.9 kpc. The computed brightness of the two sources, approximately 10000 K, is typical of optically thick thermal emission from a stellar wind, but compared with other observations suggests that some part of the emission is non-thermal. Other aspects of the two radio sources associated with WR147 are briefly discussed.
