The author and his collaborators have observed NRAO 140 twice at X-ray energies and numerous times with multifrequency VLBI. The VLBI observations reveal a knotty jet structure with superluminal motion of the innermost two knots relative to the core. The VLBI core decreased by about a factor of 2 in flux density between 1980 and late 1984. The X-ray flux also declined by about the same factor during this period. Monitoring at 18 cm during periods of low-frequency variability has revealed pronounced changes in the relative brightnesses of the components of the source while the total flux density has varied by ≲ 10%.
