Abstract

The results of a sensitive radio survey of about 0.04 str of extragalactic sky in a narrow strip about declination delta = + 33 deg are reported. The measurements were made with the NRAO 91-meter Green Bank telescope at a frequency of 4760 MHz. A catalog of the 882 sources detected above a flux density of 15 mJy is given, and the source counts are computed for a subsample complete above 20 mJy. The area surveyed is part of that covered earlier by the NRAO 5-GHz survey of faint sources (Davis, 1971). The results allow an unbiased study of the variability characteristics of sources common to both surveys.
