We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array to search for radio continuum emission at λ 3, 6, 13 and 20 cm from a distance-limited sample of 36 southern Wolf-Rayet stars within 3 kpc of the Sun. The observations were taken between 1994 and 1997. Radio continuum emission has been detected from 16 sources at 3 cm. Of these 11 sources were detected at 6 cm, seven sources were detected at 13 cm and 2 sources were detected at 20 cm (Chapman et al. 1999).
