As part of the ThunderKAT Large Survey Program, we observed the field of Swift J1728.9-3613 with 58 antennas of the MeerKAT radio telescope. The observation was carried out on 2019-01-31 from UT 02:39:47 and lasted for 15 minutes, occurring 6 days after rising X-ray flux from the source was seen with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (ATel #12436).
