Seven millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been identified from the NVSS by positional coincidence. Our examination of the characteristics of about, 280 known pulsars and 40 MSPs has shown that they have high polarization and a steep spectrum. We identify likely MSP candidates from both the NVSS at 1.4 GHz and the WENSS at 325 MHz. The first sample of 14 candidates has been observed by the WSRT using PuMa at both 92 and 21 cm in May 1999. From our preliminary analysis of the 382 MHz data, we find no evidence for MSPs in the first sample.
