X-ray and microwave observations of the nearby A7-F0V star 47 Cas reveal indications for extraordinarily strong coronal activity, characterised by X-ray and radio luminosities of L_X_=2.9x10^30^erg/s and L_R_=1.1x10^15^erg/s/Hz, respectively, and the presence of very strong X-ray flares. The rapidly rotating star is not known to possess a spectroscopic companion that may be held responsible for the observed emissions. Interpreting the X-ray modulation as rotational modulation and combining the value of the rotation period with the optically determined vsini, the stellar radius is found to be consistent with the photometrically determined radius. This may be the first non-interacting, early F V star discovered as a strong, nonthermal radio source. From kinematic arguments, 47 Cas is a likely member of the Pleiades Moving Group, and may thus be very young.
