Abstract
Bridle (this volume) has summarized the overall characteristics of the jets found in numerous low-luminosity and some high-luminosity radio sources. Previous observations made with the partially completed VLA at wavelengths of 6 and 20 cm indicated that 3C449 was an archetypal radio source obeying all the “rules” summarized by Bridle. New observations with the VLA of the polarization structure at 6 and 20 cm have destroyed this simple picture and identify 3C449 as a “rogue” jet source.
