Sensitive 2.7 GHz and 4.75 GHz observations with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope have resulted in the detection of the weak shell-type source G33.2-0.6. Its nonthermal spectral index of alpha equals 0.7 + or - 0.2 (S approximately equal to nu to the -alpha power) classifies it as a supernova remnant (SNR). The source is at the limits of published low frequency surveys, suggesting a spectral break as seen in a few other old supernova remnants. This type of source is of special interest as an aid to understanding the evolution of SNR and their interaction with the interstellar medium.
