We have begun VLA observations of straight-angle tailed radio sources (SATs) at 1.5 and 4.8 GHz (L and C band) to achieve one arcsecond resolution at each frequency. This will provide a SAT data set similar to the O'Donoghue, Owen, and Eilek (1990) WAT data set with both total intensity and spectral index information. We will use these data to examine morphological and dynamical properties of straight-tailed radio sources in clusters of galaxies.
