The Westerbork Northern Sky Survey has mapped the sky (above declination
) at 325 MHz (and is complementary to the NVSS survey at 20 cm made
by the VLA). The overall catalogue contains about 200000 radio sources with
flux density above 15 mJy. Work is in progress at Bologna Observatory to
extract from the WENSS catalogue all radio sources associated with ``bright''
(i.e.
) galaxies. All automatic procedures used in the extraction
process have now been tested, and a final list of WENSS bright galaxies will
be available before the end of 2000. A first analysis, based on a small
area (the WENSS minisurvey), was given in de Ruiter, ..., Stirpe, et al. (1998,
A&A, 339, 34).
