In this project we try to follow the evolution of the Radio Luminosity Function (RLF) with redshift by observing a set of galaxy clusters with known spectroscopic redshifts. This method has the advantage over previous studies, based on general radio surveys, that most of the redshifts are accurately known, that intrinsically weaker sources are well represented, and that the parent sample of galaxies is well defined. The chief disadvantages are that, because the sample is optically selected, there are few high luminosity radio sources, and that we cannot examine differences between cluster and field populations.
