The Hickson Compact Groups (Hickson 1982) are relatively isolated systems of galaxies with projected separations comparable to the diameters of the galaxies themselves and are an ideal laboratory for the study of the effects of interactions on the various properties of galaxies. Roughly one third of the galaxies in HCG show clear signs of interaction such as tidal distortion, truncation, and peculiar rotation curves. Galaxies that are not now interacting may have suffered past interactions or mergers. My study is based on a VLA survey of galaxies of different morphologies in 65 Compact Groups from Hickson's (1982, 1993) catalogue and only groups with minimum of 4 accordant velocities were included in the study. This final sample consisted of 298 galaxies (80E, 92S0, 126S). The observations were carried out using the VLA in various configurations at wavelengths of 20cm and 6cm over a period of several years. The angular resolutions ranged from 20″ to 0.3″ and non-detection sensitivities ranged from 1 mJy to 0.3 mJy for different observations. A total of 86 galaxies were detected as radio sources (32ES0, 54S).
