We have been conducting the first large spectroscopic
 campaigns of SSQs (Steep-Spectrum Radioquasars) at the
 AAT, WHT and the NOT, from the MRC and 7C catalogues,
 currently complete to Bj=20.5 (MRC) and R=19.5 (7C).
 The radio luminosities are orientation independent,
 free of the biases of beaming and gravitational lensing,
 and are a factor ~10 (MRC) and ~100 (7C) fainter than 3C.

 An upper limit to quasar radio luminosity [ P(178MHz)
 ~10**28 W.Hz-1.sr-1 using omega=1, H0=100 ] limits 3C to
 z<2, which is currently the only complete published
 database of SSQs. Also, luminosity and redshift are
 tightly correlated within single flux-limited samples, so
 evolutionary effects are indistinguishable from
 luminosity dependence in 3C. As well as  decoupling
 luminosity and redshift, our surveys chart the relative
 evolution of SSQs and the RGs (radiogalaxies) from our
 long term programs based on 6C and 7C at the WHT.

 We have selected 19 (9) z>1.3 SSQs from MRC the Autumn
 (Spring) launch and 11 from 7C for the Spring only,
 spanning a comparable range of radio luminosities to the
 0.1<z<1.3 GTO programs. Comparison with coeval RGs
 [SRAWLING_HZRGSR] provides a direct test of unified
 schemes, and informs on the molecular torus geometry. The
 latter is subject to the additional constraints imposed
 by the relative changes in SSQ/RG space density; by
 comparing with lower-z SSQs (GTO) we test for evolution
 both in torus properties and in star formation rates
 within the host galaxies.
