Abstract
A RELATIONSHIP between redshift and the angular size of radio sources, particularly quasi-stellar sources, has been sought with limited success for some time. Miley1, for example, observed 72 quasi-stellar sources at 408 MHz and found that those with flat spectra and large redshift had on the average the highest fringe visibility. Bash2, however, concluded from observations of 234 radio sources at 2,695 MHz that while fringe visibility was related to spectra, no significant relation to redshift was evident.
