RADIO SPECTRA OF RADIO-QUIET QUASARS .2. BROAD ABSORPTION-LINE QUASARS

Radio continuum spectra are presented for 15 broad absorption line qua sars (BALQs), obtained with the VLA and typically covering four freque ncies in the observed range 1.5 to 14.9 GHz. We find the radio spectra l shapes of BALQs to be heterogeneous and similar to the shapes found in a general sample of 39 radio quiet quasars (which included 8 BALQs) studied in a previous paper [Barvainis et al. AJ, 111, 1431 (1996)]. Overall the spectral shapes of radio quiet quasars, including BALQs, a re similar to these of radio loud quasars. (C) 1997 American Astronomi cal Society.
