The young Type II Supernova 2012hs (CBET #3347) in the galaxy ESO 213-2 has been observed with the ATCA + CABB 2 GHz backend system on 2012 Dec 20.6 at a frequency of 18 GHz. No radio emission was detected at the supernova location, to a 3-sigma upper limit of 0.08 mJy. Adopting a host galaxy distance of 24 Mpc from NED, this implies an upper limit on the luminosity at 18 GHz of 5.5E25 erg/s/Hz. We would like to extend our thanks to the ATCA staff and to V. Kilborn for enabling these observations.
