We present the results of a multifrequency observation of the WO star Sand 2 in the LMC. Two ROSAT PSPC observations, with exposure times of 8953 s and 4540 s, are used to investigate possible X-ray emission from Sand 2. The optical spectrum observed with the ESO 2.2m telescope close to the time of the ROSAT observations, shows strong emission lines of HeII, CIV, OV and OVI. All lines have a velocity broadening of 4 200±100 km s−1. The UV spectrum from the IUE archive shows a CIV resonance doublet at 155 nm with a P-Cygni absorption at ∼ −5 000 km s−1, with wings extending to about −8 000 km s−1. A combination of two different BB temperatures (80 000 K and 25 000 K) are required to fit the UV-optical continuum, dereddened by EB-V = 0.25.
