Observations are presented of 12 extragalactic nonthermal radio emission sources made at eight wavelengths between 1.25 and 1000 microns, including the important submillimeter wavelength of 350 microns. Nine of the objects were detected at 350 microns, roughly double the number of objects of this type that have previously been detected at this wavelength. The majority of the observations were made within a three-week time span. The results, combined with other studies, show that these objects generally have flat energy distributions at wavelengths longer than 1 mm that break in most cases between 350 microns and 1 mm. At wavelengths shorter than 1 mm, the energy distributions fall with a rough power-law behavior with a spectral index of about -1. For many of the objects, there is a definite break or curvature in the energy distributions at wavelengths near 2.2 microns, with the fluxes falling even more steeply into the near infrared. At the time of the observations, both OJ 287 and 3C 273 were undergoing flares. The results are generally consistent with the flares propagating out to longer wavelengths with time.
