Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and optical positions of 8 radio stars are compared in the J2000.0 system. The mean differences in right ascension and declination found are +0.02″ ± 0.04″ and −0.02″ ± 0.07″, respectively. These differences show that the JPL radio celestial reference frame is aligned on a preliminary FK5 frame to at least this level.
