ADC_Keywords: Radio sources

Description:
    The spectral analysis of the RC-catalog of the experiment "Cold"
    containing 840 radiosources in the interval of right ascension 4-22h
    are made. 280 spectra of radiosources are presented; 215 spectra are
    new. The mean spectral index for 196 objects with steep spectra
    (alpha >= 0 5) and flux densities >12mJy is 0.87+/-0.01.
    The preliminary optical identification of radiosources with
    catalogued galaxies is done.
