Abstract:
    A catalog of extended extragalactic radio sources consisting of 10460
    objects is compiled based on the list of radio sources of the FIRST
    survey. A total of 2339 objects are identified with galaxies and
    quasars of the SDSS survey and the Veron-Veron catalog. The
    distribution of position angles of the axes of radio sources from the
    catalog is determined, and the probability that this distribution is
    equiprobable is shown to be less than 10^-7^. This result implies that
    at Z equal to or smaller than 0.5, the spatial orientation of the axes
    of radio sources is anisotropic at a statistically significant level.

   that we could not find either V- or g-band magnitude for the object.
