We have used the VLA at 8.44 GHz to measure fluctuations in the cosmic background radiation (CBR) from two deep images, each 7 x 7 arcmin in size. No fluctuations between the angular scales 10 and 200 arcsec were detected. The most accurate limit (95 percent confidence) is DeltaT/T(CBR) less than 1.9 x 10 exp -5 for 80 arcsec resolution. Similar limits have been obtained for the circularly and linearly polarized components of the CBR fluctuations. All analysis was made on dirty images, in which the statistical properties of instrumental and sky fluctuations are well-defined.
