This paper presents results obtained with the Jodrell Bank - IAC two-element 33 GHz interferometer, located at the Teide Observatory on Tenerife, which is designed to measure the level of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations on angular scales of 1° and 2°. The result from a maximum likelihood analysis of observations taken at Dec +41° of δTl = 63+7-6μK at l = 208 ± 18 is comparable with those of Boomerang and Maxima. The contribution of possible foreground contaminants are considered.
