We describe a method to cross-identify and construct continuum spectra for radio sources from decametric surveys with comparatively large positional errors. The 1822 sources from the UTR-2 catalogue (10—25 MHz, antenna beam of ∼40') were cross-identified with entries from other radio catalogues at higher frequencies. Using the CATS database we found accurate positions for 2314 counterparts to UTR sources, as well as a best-fit radio spectrum for most of these. About 350 (or 19%) of the UTR sources appear to be blends of two or more sources.
