Arcsecond Positions for Milliarcsecond VLBI Nuclei of Extragalactic Radio Sources. Part 3: 74 Sources

VLBI measurements at 2290 MHz and 8420 MHz on baselines of 10,000 km between Deep Space Network stations have been used to determine the positions of the milliarcsecond nuclei in 74 extragalactic radio sources. Estimated accuracies range from 0.1 sec. to 4, 3 sec. in both right ascension and declination with typical accuracies of approx. 0.3 sec. The observed sources are part of an all-sky VLBI catalog of milliarcsecond radio sources. Arcsecond positions have now been determined for 819 sources. These positions are presently being used to identify optical counterparts in the Southern Hemisphere.
