We observed the position of the broad-line Type Ic supernova PTF10bzf (ATel 2470) with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 4.8 GHz, at March 13 17.89 UT to March 14 1.45 UT. We do not detect a radio source at the position of the supernova (ATel #2470). The three-sigma rms noise in the map around that position is 126 microJy per beam, and the formal flux measurement for a point source is 30 +/- 42 microJy.
We would like to thank the WSRT staff for scheduling and obtaining these observations.
