Abstract: A large VLA survey of radio emission from magnetic B stars is conducted at 2, 3.6, 6, and 20 cm to identify and classify the stars and check for the existence of classical Ap stars. Observations of 30 previously unidentified stars in the Sco-Cen association are reported, and 10 stars are found which have spectral types B5-A0, measured magnetic fields, and are He-weak and Si-strong. No radio emission is detected from stars later than spectral type A1, and the extreme magnetic field strength and large magnetosphere of GL Lac make it a good test for magnetosphere theories.
