Description
This paper presents 828 new 21-cm neutral hydrogen line measurements carried out with the FORT receiver of the meridian transit Nancay radio telescope (NRT) in the years 2000-2007. This observational program was part of a larger project aiming at collecting an exhaustive and magnitude-complete HI extragalactic catalog for Tully-Fisher applications. Through five massive data releases, the KLUN series has collected an homogeneous sample of 4876 HI-spectra of spiral galaxies, complete down to a flux of 5Jy.km/s and with declination {delta}>-40^{deg}. We publish here the last release of the KLUN HI observational program, corresponding to the faint end of the survey, with HI masses ranging from 5x10^8^ to 5x10^10^ solar masses. The size of this final sample is comparable to the catalogs based on the Arecibo and Parkes radio telescope campaigns, and it allows general HI-mass distribution studies from a set of homogeneous radio measurements.
