Scientific paper

A program is under way at Tidbinbilla to measure accurate (up to 2 arcsec r.m.s) radio positions for compact sources in the Parkes 2.7 GHz survey south of declination -30 deg. Optical identifications are being made on the basis of radio-optical position coincidence alone, without regard to colour or morphology, using the U.K. Schmidt IIIa-J sky survey to a limiting magnitude of 22.5. This program is aimed at producing an evaluation of the radio quasar redshift distribution with particular emphasis on those objects with redshifts greater than 3.0.
