The optical position of the short period eclipsing binary XY UMa, which shows large scale star spot activities, coincides within 2 minutes of arc with a radio source, listed in the 4C-, 4CP-, OK-catalogues, and the position obtained with the Effelsberg radio telescope. A fainter star, centered on the radio source position, is according its U-, B-, V-values a K main sequence star. The radio source is non-thermal, and has a spectral index α ~-0.85. If the radio source is identical with the binary, it would imply important consequences about the extragalactic nature of high latitude 4C-sources, the radio background and the high radio luminosity of the binary.
