We observed Type Ia supernova SN 2006X (IAUC 8667 ) with the VLA for 2 hours in 8.46 GHz band at 2008 Feb 19.47 UT mean time. We did not detect any radio emission, indicating it to be a normal Type Ia supernova. The map rms is 18 uJy and the flux density at the supernova position is 4+/-18 uJy. We thank VLA staff for making this observation possible.
