Scientific paper

Several programmes are making use of UKST Sky Survey plates to identify southern radio sources. The fine-grain modern plates and accurate radio positions give a much improved identification rate. It seems that it will very soon be possible to determine whether or not there is a quasar redshift cut-off at z ≡ 4. There is an urgent need for more accurate fundamental reference star positions in the South.
