Unlike at lower redshift, where there is a 40% detection rate, surveys for 21-cm absorption arising within the hosts of z 1 radio galaxies and quasars have been remarkably unsuccessful. ... In order to find this "missing" gas at high redshift, we have therefore undertaken a survey of z 2 radio sources, selected by optical faintness. ... The possibility that the other five could be located at lower photon rates cannot be ruled out, although zero detections out of five is not statistically significant. ...

. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .
