We observed a fourth epoch of the position of SGR 1806-20 with the Very Large Array (VLA) in A-configuration on 2005 Jan 6.77 UT (t ~ 9.9 days after the giant flare. See GCN #2920, #2928, #2929, #2933, #2934, #2935, ATEL #373, #375).
We find the following preliminary flux densities:

Freq.       Flux Density
(GHz)     (mJy)
===========================
1.46       96 +/- 2
4.86       39 +/- 2
8.46       24 +/- 1
===========================

Error Bars are 1 sigma. We find an angular size at 8.46 GHz of about 80 mas. We see no variation in this diameter over the last 4 days.
