Abstract: We have carried out an extensive radio study on the Seyfert galaxy Mrk6 
and imaged a spectacular radio structure consisting of twin bubble-like 
structures and a radio jet, in the source. To explain the complex 
morphology, we invoke a model of an episodically-powered precessing jet 
that changes orientation. This model explains the complicated radio 
morphology, the spectral index and polarization structure, and also 
presents an interesting implication for Seyfert activity in general. 
Radio emission in this scenario is a short-lived phenomenon in the 
lifetime of a Seyfert galaxy, which results due to an accretion event.
