Abstract
A Gradual Rise and Fall type solar radio event on the east limb was observed by the Nobeyama Radio Heliograph. The event started 23 UT on May 1, 1993 and lasted more than four hours. Radio images synthesized every three minutes showed a cusp shape in the later phase of the event. The peak radio flux was 6 sfu and the GOES X-ray classwas C6. In this event, we could clearly observe the flare cusp formation process due to its favorable location (on the limb) and its large size (2 arc min.).
