GX 339-4 is an unusual black hole candidate in that it is a persistent source,
being detected by X-ray telescopes most of the time, but it also has nova-like
flaring states. In 1996 we performed radio, optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray
observations of GX 339-4 when it was in a hard state (= soft X-ray low state).
Here we present a brief summary of some of the results.
