Preliminary results are reported of a long-term program to test models of variable radio sources by direct observations of diameter changes. Although further confirmation is needed, increase in angular diameter attributed to a centimetric component of 3C 279 found in 1966 implies relativistic expansion with α ≳ 2.

In order to sort out events taking place in variable sources it is necessary to observe frequently and at many wavelengths, especially at short wavelengths.
