We have observed the supernova remnants G16.7+0.1 and G29.7−0.3 at millimeter wavelengths with the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array, measuring total flux densities of the pulsar wind nebulae in the remnants. Our results imply a break at ∼50 GHz in the spectrum of the PWN in G29.7−0.3, lower than previously estimated. The PWN in G16.7+0.1 either has a break < 100 GHz, or a steep radio spectrum.
