Wide-angle tailed radio sources are most often found associated with cD or giant ellipticals in the centers of clusters. These galaxies have insufficient peculiar velocities to bend the radio lobes into their characteristic C-shapes by ICM ram pressure. WATs may be found in merging clusters where large scale flows of the ICM bend the lobes. We propose to study three low-z WAT clusters in detail, imaging the interface of the radio lobes with the ICM, and determining the spectral properties of the ICM. It is important to separate AGN emission from clumpy ICM emission which may distort the lobes. In addition, we will compare the local ICM pressure with the radio pressure. We will measure the temperature structure of the ICM and determine if there are shocked regions as expected in a merger.
