As the first step of the Multiwavelength AGN Survey (MWAS), we have started the FIRST-APM QSO Survey (FAQS). The main goal of FAQS is to compile the most complete sample of bright QSOs, located in the area of the sky covered by the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS). Here we report the current status of an ongoing study based on the cross-identification of the FIRST radio catalog and the APM optical catalog. The overlapping sky area between FIRST and SBS is about 700 deg2. The compiled list of sources for this overlapping region contains ~ 400 quasar candidates brighter than . About 90 objects were already spectroscopically classified. During 1999-2000, we observed spectroscopically more than 150 FAQS objects with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Astropysical Observatory (GHAO). We have found 51 new QSOs (4 BAL QSOs), 13 Seyfert Galaxies (5 NLSyl’s), 23 emission line galaxies, 3 BL Lac objects and 57 stars.
