The study of steep spectrum sources containing compact components has become increasingly popular as the number of papers on the topic in this volume indicates. I wish to discuss the properties of a number of steep spectrum sources which are dominated by compact components whose spectra remain steep to quite low frequencies. Most of the known sources of this type do not have optical counterparts to the limit of the Palomar Sky Survey prints and thus, with the implicit assumption that they are extragalactic, have been referred to as “Optically Quiet Quasars”.
