To study whether the radio properties of BL Lacertae type objects and QSOs differ, we initiated a program in 1979 to monitor the total flux density and linear polarization at 14.5, 8.0 and 4.8 GHz of the strongest then known BL Lac objects which met the Hewitt-Burbidge criteria (Ledden, private communications) plus 3 subsequently identified high declination BL Lacs (Biermann et al. 1981). Results based on the behavior of the 45 brightest sample members are compared here with the properties of the QSOs in the flux-limited Pearson-Readhead sample (Pearson and Readhead 1988).
