Low frequency survey
utility in identifying classes of objects that can be observed at other wavelengths
less affected by optical depth and beaming provides samples with an isotropic source distribution.
particular interest for finding radio galaxies, especially those at large redshifts.

The Mauritius Radio Telescope(MRT)
T-shaped Fourier synthesis non-coplanar array
2048 m long East-West (EW) arm
880 m long North-South (NS) arm
operating at 151.5 Mhz.
EW - 1024 fixed helices arranged in 32 groups at the same height but the different groups are at not co-planar.

Results
By considering the spectral index a of the sources in the MRC/1Jy-B sample (107 sources), between 1400 MHz and the 408 MHz: 27.3% of the sources show ultra steep spectrum 67.3% show steep spectrum features and remaining, 4.6% were flat spectrum sources.

Morphology
41% - singles or unresolved, 49% - apparent double structures 5% - triple sources 5% - complex structures.
