Abstract
The possible low-frequency radio emission from the progenitors of gamm a ray bursts can experience a delay from tens of seconds to hours on t he way to the observer due to the dispersion in galactic and extragala ctic plasma, and thus reach the observer as a radio afterglow of the b urst. This opens a unique possibility (peculiar ''time machine'') of s eeing what happened at that place before the catastrophe. (C) 1997 Els evier Science B.V.
