Description:
    The results of optical identification of radio sources Zenith Sky
    Survey with the Palomar Sky Survey prints are presented. The sky
    survey was conducted with a RATAN-600 radio telescope at 8.0cm in a
    ring-aperture operation mode. All the objects belong to the radio
    source population with flux densities in a range from 5 to 50mJy. 
    The mean value of the spectral index distribution for the sources
    identified with other catalogs was found to be equal to -0.9 at 8.0cm.
