Abstract:
    Variability in 408MHz flux density, over a 1yr interval between 1995
    and 1996, has been investigated using the DRAO Synthesis Telescope for
    a complete sample of 322 sources with S(408MHz)>80mJy at galactic
    b=15{deg}; four sources are found to show significant flux density
    variations.
