As a pilot study for the first all-sky radio survey at short wavelengths, we have observed 1216 sq. deg. of the southern sky at 18GHz (16mm) using a novel wide-band (3.4GHz bandwidth) analogue correlator on one baseline of the Australia…

Empirical simulations based on extrapolations from well-established low-frequency ($< 5$ GHz) surveys fail to accurately model the faint, high frequency ($>10$~GHz) source population; they under-predict the number of observed sources by a…
