Scientific paper

Radio continuum surveys of the sky have been made since the pioneering discovery of cosmic radio emission by Karl Jansky. The all-sky surveys give the basic information about the distribution of radio intensity across the sky. Depending on the angular resolution of a survey we can recognize the emitting regions: the Galactic center, the plane of the Milky Way as well as individual sources, be it HII regions or supernova remnants. In particular the Galactic plane surveys, usually made at higher radio frequencies, allow the delineation of source structure. Polarization surveys add one more parameter and are sensitive to recognize synchrotron emission. In this contribution I will sketch the development of radio sky surveys from the very beginnings at 20.5 MHz up to the wonderful WMAP results at 93.5 GHz.
