The NOAO 4 m Mayall Telescope has been used to obtain CCD images at the positions of 13 radio sources discovered in a deep VLA survey at 6 cm. The exposures reach V ≡ 24.5 mag, and identifications are suggested for ten of the 13 sources. These identifications include one bright QSO, one very faint object which may also be stellar, seven galaxies with various morphologies, and one relatively bright galaxy with emission lines. The results indicate that radio sources at these low flux-density levels are a diverse mixture of objects.
