Observations of a point source, 2020 + 401, in the eastern rim of the supernova remnant G 78.2 +2.1 have been made at 20 cm, 6 cm, and 2 cm using the Very Large Array. This source was previously thought to be variable, but no variability was detected over a two-month time interval. The radio properties of the source give no reason to associate it with the supernova remnant. It is a point source (less than 0.05 arcsec) and has a spectrum typical of many quasars, and is therefore probably a background extragalactic source. Two other small-diameter sources within the remnant are possibly related to it. However, the number of such sources found is consistent with extragalactic source counts.
