Hi
A quick internet search reveals that the starting point should be the NRAO website
they conducted a sky survey from 1993 - 97 doing a series of 200,000 snap shot observations at 1.4 GHz .
Data is available on line - principal data is a 4 x 4 degree image from the telescopes.
Data and viewers are available from FTP at NRAO
http://www.cv.nrao.edu/nvss
They are continuing the survey at 74 MHz and that data is also available for use using FTP and readily available from NRAO.
The low frequency survey can be found at

have a look and let me know you get on!
