We analyse the rest-frame UV spectra of a complete sample of optically selected radio-loud and radio-quiet QSOs. Our results are:

  1. 1: Broad absorption-line QSOs (BALQSOs) are all radio quiet, but they are strongly clustered toward the top end of the radio-quiet population in radio power.

  2. 2: Radio-loud QSOs have higher equivalent-width, narrower high ionisation emission-lines than radio-quiet QSOs.

  3. 3: Further Reading
