The radio emission from Supernova (SN) 1987A in Jul. 1990 is discussed. A model involving synchrotron radiation emitted by electrons undergoing diffusive acceleration at the supernova blast wave is discussed. This model involves reasonable assumptions concerning adiabatic losses and the magnetic field in the preexplosion stellar wind. The light curve and spectrum produced by a constant rate of particle injection occurring in a localized region of the shock front can be calculated from it. Observations indicate that at least two such clumps were found to date. The implications of the model and its application to the observations are discussed.
