Data from 4885-MHz VLA observations made in August and September 1982, and 1661-MHz European VLBI network observations made in October 1982, of seven extended radio sources suspected of having steep-spectrum cores (SSCs) are presented. The two-point 6- to 20-cm wavelength core spectral index of 1250-102 is found to be about 0.2. The 6-cm wavelength observations indicate incorrect core identification in 1422 + 202 and 1547 + 309, and overestimated core spectral indexes for the remaining sources. Present 6-cm wavelength core flux densities and previous 8.1-GHz NRAO measurements (Owen et al., 1978; Potash and Wardle, 1979) give core spectral indexes of around -0.1 for 1007 + 417, 0.0 for 1423 + 242, and -1.7 for 2355 + 490. Results indicate that true SSCs associated with extended radio source nuclei are very rare.
