Observations of the radio galaxy 3C 111 show this source to have a very strong and very compact component at millimeter wavelengths, 3000 times more luminous than that recently found in Cen A. This component is coincident with the optical galaxy and may also be related to the X-ray source 3U 0430+37. The spectrum of the north-following, extended outer component remains power-law even at 3.3 mm wavelength. At least five spectral components of 3C 111 may be distinguished. (AIP)
