The possibility that the 6-cm spikes observed during the May 16, 1981, solar flare are the microwave signature of Langmuir turbulence generated by thick-target electron beams is discussed. The Langmuir turbulence in the spike sources are estimated and compared with the results of Emslie and Smith (1984). The short duration and small extent of these 6-cm spikes are explained by the short lifetime of the highly collimated thick-target electron beams in the small volumes of the solar flare. It is suggested that the effects of gyroresonance absorption must be taken into account with the increase of the magnetic field in the spike sources.
