Results on X-ray observations of OVV QSOs with Ginga are reported. Nine objects with redshift ranging from 0.21 to 1.40 were observed. X-ray spectra in 2 to 20 keV were obtained from eight of them. Seven OVVs showed power law photon indices between 1.4 and 2.0. One object (3CR454.3) had a steeper index around 2.7. No clear correlation was seen between the spectral slope and the redshift or luminosity. None of the OVVs showed significant iron emission lines. These spectral features together with the extremely short time variation detected from 3C279 in its outburst suggest that the continuum X-ray emission of OVVs is beamed toward us.
