Radio emissions from SN 1986J at 90, 20, and 6 cm were observed by the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope and the VLA. The results suggest that free-free absorption may occur in a hot optically thick thermal region surrounding the SN which slowly becomes optically thin at low frequencies. Only the 90-cm data are consistent with the circumstellar interaction model. The high radio luminosity of the SN 1986J can be explained by an extremely massive precursor and an unusually dense surrounding medium.
