We present the results of monitoring the radio emission from the Type IIbsupernova SN 2001gd between 2002 February 8 and 2002 October 28. Most of thedata were obtained using the Very Large Array at the five wavelengths of$\lambda \lambda$1.3 cm (22.4 GHz), 2.0 cm (14.9 GHz), 3.6 cm (8.44 GHz), 6.2cm (4.86 GHz), and 21 cm (1.4 GHz). Observations were also made with GiantMeterwave Radio Telescope at $\lambda$21 cm (1.4 GHz). The object wasdiscovered optically well after maximum light, making any determination of theearly radio evolution difficult. However, subsequent observations indicate thatthe radio emission has evolved regularly in both time and frequency and is welldescribed by the SN shock/circumstellar medium interaction model.Comment: 16 pages 2 figures to appear in Astrophysical Journa
