We present an analysis of radio emissions associated with the April 7, 1997 solar eruptive event. The event consisted of a filament disappearance, a complex two-phase coronal mass ejection (CME), and a C6.9, 2N flare. At the same time, intermittent type II radio emissions in the frequency range 1--10 MHz, corresponding to an altitude range of 2--15 R, were observed by the Wind/WAVES radio receiver. Using the onset times and inferred heights and speeds of the radio bursts, we considered both a CME-driven shock and a flare-associated blast wave shock as possible causes of the type II radio emissions. We conclude that some of the radio emissions in the WAVES data are associated with each shock. The type II radio emissions associated with the blast wave shock were farther from the sun than any emission of this type that has been reported previously. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
