Radio observations of the PN NGC 7027, obtained at 4.885 and 14.965 GHz (resolution 0.35 arcsec) using the B configuration of the VLA in 12-h runs during August 1982, May 1985, and September 1986, are reported. The data-reduction procedures are outlined, and the results are presented in tables, graphs, and contour maps. Extreme limb brightening is observed and attributed to inverse-square dilution of ionizing radiation from the central star. Comparison of the maps from three epochs reveals steady expansion and implies a distance of 880 + or - 150 pc.
