Abstract

The angular two-point correlation function is calculated for the first 300 square degrees of the FIRST radio survey. Results for various subsamples are also obtained. Double-lobed sources are shown to have a higher clustering amplitude than the sample as a whole. Small differences in the correlation function from one region of the sample to another and results of various flux cuts are discussed.
