A prediction is made of the location on the log N-log S curve where radio source counts have the most galaxies, and approach the power law S exp(-1.5). The prediction is based on a correlation between the flux density measurements of the IRAS satellite at 60 microns and at 6 cm. The region is predicted to be between 30 and 100 micro-Jy at flux densities of 6 cm. The predicted location is found to agree with the results of the P(D) analysis of Fomalont et al. (1984).
