First observational evidence of harmonic radiation at microwave frequencies during solar bursts is presented for the event of April 28, 1983. The recordings between 3.1 and 19.6 GHz show a typical continuum with a spectral maximum near 5.2 GHz. Superimposed fine structures with durations in the order of some seconds exhibit a very unusual spectral behaviour. Narrow-banded intensity peaks appeared at 5.2 and 11.8 GHz which were barely visible at 3.1, 8.4 and 19.6 GHz. These structures can be interpreted as harmonic emission. Harmonic radio emission can be generated either by plasma radiation, gyroradiation, electron-cyclotron maser or by nonlinear conversion processes. However, all of those mechanisms require extreme assumptions on the source and the ambient plasma in order to account for the observations.
