We report multi-frequency observations of a solar GOES M1.5 class flare, occurred November 5, 1998 at about 1335 UT. The microwave observations were obtained by the Solar Radio Polarimeter at 7 GHz (Itapetinga/Brazil) with high sensitivity and time resolution. The 2D decimetric-metric radio images were made with Nancay Radio Heliograph. The hard X ray data are from BATSE/CGRO and HXT from YOHKOH. Radio spectral information was obtained from RSTN data. Thus, the event was observed over a wide range of altitudes, between the low corona where 200 keV hard X rays from non-thermal electrons are produced, up to about 0.5 Ro, where the electron beams propagated outward. We discuss these observations in terms of the relation between the production of non-thermal electrons in the low /middle solar atmosphere and the dynamics of the high corona magnetic field traced by spatially resolved dm/metric emitting sources. The analysis of the 2D metric/decimetric images, associated to the fast structures in the time profiles at 7 GHz and hard X rays suggests a very complex magnetic configuration during the flare evolution. The results suggest the presence of various emitting sources at high altitudes, probably associated to different injections of non-thermal electrons. There is a suggestion that the energy release could start in the high corona by the interaction of large scale magnetic loops.
