We have made a new deep 6 cm survey with the VLA in order to extend the radio source count to a lower flux density and to decrease the limits on the small scale fluctuations in the microwave background. The survey region covers ~10-5 ster and is nearly coincident with the survey previously reported by Fomalont et al. 1984a and 1984b. Both the observing time and bandwidth were increased by a factor of two over the previous survey to give a factor of two improvement in sensitivity.
