A campaign of simultaneous, two-frequency radio observations at 5 and 10.5 GHz was carried out on the binary system LSI +61 deg 303 in August-September 1981 to obtain data on the physical configuration of the source. The flux densities and the spectral indices are proved for both frequencies. A radio period close to 26.5 days was detected, with its evolution proceeding at a rate of 0.06 days/yr. Analyses demonstrate that the observed radio spectra and flux density decay can be fitted with a model of an expanding synchrotron source and a power-law electron energy distribution. The radio signals can arise from luminosity-driven shocks originating in the supercritical accretion at periastron in an orbit with 0.75 eccentricity. Further observations are specified for confirming the model.
