We discuss recent collaborative observations of coronal mass ejections and related activity using the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). VLA observations show the onset of intense 400 cm burst emission during an X1 GOES soft X-ray burst observed by the Yohkoh spacecraft and prior to a CME observed by the Large Angle Spectroscometric C2 Coronagraph (LASCO) on board SOHO. VLA snapshot maps show that the 400 cm burst site varied discontinuously throughout the course of the flare, possibly reflecting abrupt changes in the structure of the coronal magnetic fields along which the energetic particles traveled.
