Basing on radio measurements from different stations the paper presents a compilation of observations and resultinng questions concerning the interpretation of some remarkable features of the solar behind‐limb event on 16th February 1984. The event was related to a very strong relativistic particle emission. Attention is paid to the related microwave radiation stimulating a discussion of the discrimination between plasma and gyromagnetic radiation being important for plasma diagnostics. Another outstanding feature is the occurrence of a spectacular multi‐band U‐shaped type II burst pattern challenging a discussion of possible higher harmonic plasma radiation.
