Using the preliminary results for {ital p{bar p}}{r arrow}{ital W}{gamma}{ital X} from the Collider Detector at Fermilab, we obtain information on the magnetic moment of the {ital W} boson. At 90% C.L. we find the bound {minus}9.9{le}{kappa}{le}12.3, which is consistent with the standard model value {kappa}=1. We also consider the radiative decay {ital W}{r arrow}{ital e}{nu}{gamma}.
