The basic radio and optical properties of a large, well-defined, complete sample of isolated pairs of galaxies in some of the sparsest regions of space were studied. Due to this selection criterion the sample is approximately 75% spirals. A radio continuum survey of the entire sample of 1206 galaxies was accomplished at 2695 MHz on the 91 meter telescope. Follow-up observations to obtain additional information on detected sources used a 43 meter telescope at 5GHz and an interferometer. Due to the depth of the sample in space the detected galaxies are either elliptical radio galaxies or the strongest spiral radio sources. Only a few of the closest spirals were detected at the low power levels consistent with typical disk emission. Two general models are suggested by the results. Either galaxy fissions are involved or mass transfer exists between galaxies or from the integalactic medium onto a galaxy.
