Scientific paper

A survey of 58 VLA FIRST radio sources near R<12; guide stars resulted in the discovery of a z 5.5 radio galaxy F1234+2001, the most distant radio galaxy known to date. The preliminary photometric redshift $z=5.40^{+0.70}_{-0.41}$ based on V, R, I, z', and H band photometry, was refined through continuum fitting of follow-up optical and near-infrared spectra.
