Abstract • We present new observations of the radio supernova SN 1981K made with the VLA at 20 and 6 cm from 1985 March through 1990 May, augmenting previous observations which began in 1982 January and extended through 1984 November. Since the radio emission from Supernovae appears to fall into distinct classes, we can establish after the fact an optical classification for SN 1981K solely from the radio data. From its 20 and 6 cm radio light curves, we conclude that SN 1981K was a Type II supernova, with radio properties similar to those of SN 1979C and SN 1980K.
