The Cambridge survey of radio stars [1], which has been described by Shakeshaft, revealed some 1900 sources of small angular diameter, which appeared to be distributed nearly isotropically. An examination of the number–magnitude distribution shows, however, that they cannot be accounted for in terms of a uniform spatial distribution of sources [2].
