We use redshift determinations and spectral analysis of galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey () to study the properties of local radio sources with S>=1mJy. 557 objects (hereafter called the spectroscopic sample) drawn from the FIRST survey() , corresponding to 2.3 per cent of the total radio sample, are found in the 2dFGRS catalogue within the area 9h 48min<=RA<=14h 32min and -2.77{deg}<=DE<=2.25{deg} (2000), down to a magnitude limit b_J_=19.45. The excellent quality of 2dF spectra allows us to divide these sources into classes, according to their optical spectra.
