We present the results of a 2 & 3mm Swedish-ESO Submillimetre
Telescope continuum survey of bright southern flat-spectrum radio
sources. Our sample consists of all sources in the PKSCAT90 catalog
south of declination 
with
accurate positions (<2
), and predicted 3mm flux (based on
published low-frequency spectral indices) greater than 300mJy (47
sources). In addition, 32 bright radio sources from the USNO
Radio-Optical Reference Frame catalog have
been observed. Our overall detection rate for the combined sample is
66% above typical 
limits of 
. This survey has
identified many new sources suitable for use as phase and pointing
calibrators for southern millimeter interferometers. A number of
individual sources are discussed.
