The NRAO seven-beam receiver was used on the 91 m telescope in Green B
ank, WV during 1986 November to survey the declination band 0-degrees
< delta < +75-degrees at 4.85 GHz. We made sky maps from the 1986 data
alone, primarily for comparison with the epoch 1987 maps [Condon et a
l., AJ, 97, 1064 (1989)] to allow variability studies of a large, unbi
ased sample of sources selected at 4.85 GHz. The 1986 and 1987 data se
ts were combined, reedited, and mapped to yield maps fully covering th
e OMEGA = 6.07 sr region 0-degrees < delta < +75-degrees with noise an
d position uncertainties divided by nearly square-root 2. The 1986 and
combined (1986+1987) maps are available on FITS-format tapes.
