This multifrequency, multiband information will be exploited to get a comprehensive view of star formation and active galactic nucleus activities in the high-redshift Universe from a radio perspective. In this paper, we present novel 1.4GHz mosaic observations obtained with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. With an area coverage of 6.6deg^2^, this is the largest survey reaching an rms noise of 11{mu}Jy/beam. In this paper, we present the source catalogue (~6000 sources with flux densities S>~55{mu}Jy (5{sigma}), and we discuss the 1.4GHz source counts derived from it. Our source counts provide very robust statistics in the flux range 0.1<S<1mJy, and are in excellent agreement with other robust determinations obtained at lower and higher flux densities. A clear excess is found with respect to the counts predicted by the semi-empirical radio sky simulations developed in the framework of the Square Kilometre Array Simulated Skies project. A preliminary analysis of the identified (and classified) sources suggests this excess is to be ascribed to star-forming galaxies, which seem to show a steeper evolution than predicted.2018MNRAS.481.4548Phttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/481/4548CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/481/4548https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/481/4548http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/481/4548https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/481/4548https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/481/4548http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/481/4548GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/481/4548/table1 (The radio catalogue: sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/481/4548/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/481/4548/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/481/4548/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true160.703833358.52422220.0055555555555555565/1517 1528 6/6046-6047 6076-6077 6088 6090 61209.276497240453405e-25 9.276497240453405e-25https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/481/4548?format=asciiRadiodefaultJ/MNRAS/481/4548/table1The radio catalogue: samplerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
