Observations of 24 nearby Abell galaxy clusters with the Lebedev aperture-synthesis antenna array at 102.5 MHz indicate that the radio luminosity of a cluster increases with its richness class R. For clusters with R> or =1 the luminosity function conforms to a power law with exponent -0.85 in the range 3 x 10/sup 24/< or =L< or =3 x 10/sup 26/ W/Hz.
