Radio spectra of radio quiet quasars .2. Broad absorption line quasars

Radio continuum spectra are presented for 15 broad absorption line quasars (BALQs), obtained with the VLA and typically covering four frequencies in the observed range 1.5 to 14.9 GHz. We find the radio spectral 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, are similar to these of radio loud quasars. (C) 1997 American Astronomical Society.
