Electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability is today’s most favoured process for microwave spike emission. Although ECM looks attractive, the emission mechanism is still unclear due to the imperfection of present theories, inadequacy of observational data, and uncertainty as to conditions in the source region. To find solar active phenomena, both statistically and individually coincident with radio spike events, is essential for understanding the ambient conditions needed for generating spike emission, locating sites where spike emission is produced, and providing clues for particle acceleration and energy release in flares.

In this paper, evidence for an association between spike emission at 21 cm and fast variation of the magnetic configuration in post-flare loops is presented. Such associations may be helpful for solving the questions mentioned above.
