The low-frequency turnover of a selected sample of quasars is found to be strongly correlated with their redshift (Menon 1983)). Assuming that the components which produce the low-frequency turnover are hot spots in the quasars I have derived the physical parameters of the hot spots and show that there is a continuity in the various parameters as the angular sizes of the hot spots vary from subarcseconds to milliarcseconds. Hence the low-frequency turnover can be used as a probe into the physical conditions at the earliest phases of quasar activity.
