We describe our ongoing program using data obtained with the Swift/BAT and the Fermi Large Area Telescope to search for hard-X-ray and gamma-ray emission from recently published surveys of galactic radio sources. Radio emission was established as a ubiquitous property of gamma ray sources prior to the launch of Fermi and subsequent examination of the composition of the 1451 source catalog of that mission further supports this idea. Known classes of galactic variable radio sources include high-mass X-ray binaries such as Cyg X-3 and LSI +61 303 which are already established gamma-ray emitters. Those objects are often transient in nature and they are often revealed through survey observations in the hard-X-ray band. Additional objects among this class may be revealed and establishing them as gamma-ray emitters would be of great interest. Other possible source classes include magnetars, RRATs (Rotating Radio Transients) and flare stars. Most interestingly, totally unexpected phenomena could also be revealed. We will describe our sample selection, data extraction and analysis methods and present results obtained to date.
