It is noted that very little information on cluster radio emission is available at frequencies below 400 MHz. Clusters, however, are known to be correlated with radio sources having steep spectra, so that a survey of galaxy clusters at comparatively low frequencies offers considerable interest. Observations of 25 nearby Abell galaxy clusters with the Lebedev aperture-synthesis antenna array at 102.5 MHz are analyzed to show that the radio luminosity of a cluster increases with its richness class R. It is found that for clusters where R is greater than or equal to 1, the luminosity function conforms to a power law with an exponent of -0.85 in the range between 3 x 10 to the 24th and 3 x 10 to the 26th W/Hz.
