The November 4, 2003 GOES X28 flare was the largest ever recorded in its class. It produced the first evidence of the two spectrally separated radio/far-infrared emission components, one at microwaves and another in the THz range of frequencies (Kaufmann et al. 2004). We analyzed the 20 minutes before the impulsive onset of this event and found unusual activity at X-rays (RHESSI), at sub-THz frequencies (SST), at H-alpha (BBSO) and at microwaves (Itapetinga 7 GHz polarimeter, RSTN and OVSA). SOHO LASCO images have shown a large CME launched well before the large burst onset. The unusual activity began at about 19 27 UT with a slow rise at 6-10 keV and the start of a precursor at 7 GHz. Pulsations at sub-THz became pronounced, exhibiting correlations with RHESSI 25-50 keV pulsations and similar pulsations at 7 GHz. Impulsive bursts were detected with peaks at 19 34 UT at 100-300 keV and 7 GHz. LASCO movie show a large CME which linear extrapolation to the solar surface correspond to the first H-alpha BBSO brightening, suggesting an approximate launch time at about 1934 UT, close to the hard X-ray and microwave impulsive bursts and nearly 8 minutes before the onset of the large flare. These events had different locations within the AR that included the major flare location at the solar west limb, as indicated by SST pulses positions and images obtained by RHESSI and BBSO. The pulsations phenomena and superimposed impulsive events might represent the complex energy buildup mechanisms leading to the CME launch, quite distinct in time and space from the major flare that exploded afterwards.
