Extract

Surveys of the Galaxy at five frequencies in the range 2 to 20 MHz have been made using the Llanherne low frequency array (Ellis, 1972). The data has been assembled into maps covering the area 320° < £ < 30° and -25° < b < 22° and these are presented in rectangular galactic co-ordinates. Galactic radio spectra in various directions have been obtained, combining the new data with seven earlier galactic continuum surveys. The details of all the surveys used are given in Table I. A new 4.7 MHz map has been plotted from the profiles presented by Ellis and Hamilton (1966).
