We present here analyses of a radio survey of Abell clusters at 1400 MHz using the NRA0 91-m telescope. Details will appear in a paper to be submitted to the Astronomical Journal where we present two lists. The first contains sources within 0.5 of an Abell radius (hereafter Ra, 3 Mpc if H=50) of the center of an Abell cluster. The second contains those clusters for which there were no sources within that limit. The flux limit is 100 mJy, the beam size ∼10 1/2 arcmin, and the declination limit −19°30′. For consistency we use Corwin's (1974) m10 − z calibration throughout. The errors in m10 and therefore z and Ra, combined with a beam large compared to galaxy and cluster size (preventing identifications) preclude all but the simplest analyses which we present here.
