      <description>The VLA Low-Frequency Sky Survey (VLSS) is a 74 MHz continuum survey 
   covering the entire sky north of -30 degrees declination. Using the 
   VLA in BnA and B-configurations, it will map the entire survey region 
   at a resolution of 80" and with an average rms noise of 0.1 Jy/beam. 
   &lt;p&gt;
   This version include the data from the VLSS redux which increased the coverage
   region slightly and substantially improved the data reduction.  Details are in the
   Lane et al. (2012) reference.  Provenance:  &lt;b&gt;VLSS Team: &lt;/b&gt;R.A. Perley, J.J. Condon,  W.D. Cotton (NRAO);
