We triggered our NRAO Target Of Opportunity programs (PI Kasliwal; PI Stockdale) and used the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) to observe PTF11eon/SN2011dh (ATEL#3398), a very young Type II supernova. EVLA observations were undertaken on 2011 June 04.25 UT. We detect radio emission at a center frequency of 22.46 GHz (K band) at a flux of 2.68 +/- 0.10 mJy/beam. The spectral luminosity density is therefore 2.02+/-0.08 10^26 erg s^-1 Hz^-1. The source was detected at the following coordinates (J2000): RA=13:30:05.104; DEC=+47:10:10.915; we give conservative errors of +/-0.01 arcsec in both coordinates. Further observations are ongoing. We thank the EVLA staff for scheduling these target of opportunity observations.
