Reply to "Comment on `Correlation between Compact Radio Quasars and Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays'"

Abstract

We discuss the rationale for the energy cuts used in the previous study of directional correlation of the five highest energy cosmic ray events with compact, radio quasars. We check the consistency of the next three most energetic events which just missed those cuts, with the correlation hypothesis. Agreement between expected and observed properties of these events is good.
