The flux densities of 67 non-thermal radio sources have been measured at a frequency of 5000 Mc/s with the CSIRO 210 ft radio telescope at Parkes. The sources were chosen from the stronger objects in the 3C catalogue (Edge et al. 1959), the CTA and CTD catalogues (Harris and Roberts 1960; Kellermann and Read 1965), and the Parkes catalogue (Bolton, Gardner, and Mackey 1964; Price and Milne 1965; Day et al. 1966). In the selection of sources observed in this program, special emphasis was placed on objects whose spectra at lower frequencies showed significant departures from the usual power law with an index near -0�8. Most of the sources reported here have not been previously measured at wavelengths shorter than 10 cm and thus the present observations extend the frequency range of their spectra by nearly a factor of two.

A method has been developed for measuring the gain of large interferometer and cross-type radio telescope aerials. Use is made of the strong discrete radio sources, whose intensity need not be known, to allow comparison of the gains of the aerials with that of a standard.

AbstractWe summarise results from flux density monitoring campaigns performed with the 100 m radio telescope at Effelsberg and the VLA during the past 15 yrs. We briefly discuss some of the statistical properties from now more than 40 high declination sources (δ ≥ 30°), which show intraday variability (IDV). In general, IDV is more pronounced for sources with flat radio spectra and compact VLBI structures. For 0917+62, we present new VLBI images which suggest that the variability pattern is modified by the occurrence of new jet components. For 0716+71, we show the first detection of IDV at millimetre wavelengths (32 GHz). For the physical interpretation of the IDV phenomenon, a complex source and frequency dependent superposition of interstellar scintillation and source intrinsic variability should be considered.

Flux density measurements at 5000 MHz are presented for 325 of the small-diameter sources detected in the Molonglo 408 MHz galactic survey. By investigating the spectra we show that probably between 10 % and 15 % of the sources are galactic and the remainder extragalactic.
