 Write:<<SUMSS  JHHMMSS+DDMMSS>>
 N:  107729
Object:(Rad)  (SIMBAD class: Radio = Radio Source)
  Note:Using the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST)    with its upgraded wide-field capability, the survey    covers 8000 square degrees from -30 degrees declination    southwards. The survey resolution and sensitivity (1-sigma    noise limit 1 mJy) are well-matched to the NRAO VLA Sky    Survey (NVSS) so that together NVSS and SUMSS will provide    a complete survey of the radio sky.
