I am member of the follow ham clubs
 

This interesting activity of the ham radio share it with other colleagues in several bands and modalities, my favorite one is the digital mode in text and images, I like the experimentation and application of the theoretical concepts to calculate the technical characteristics of the current and future in the hobby, my personal concept on this takes me to the opinion that it is necessary the expansion of the technique applied in the forms of work of the ham´s say the achievement of the elevation of our technical level.

I share this hobby with my wife YV5LNH who supports me and she enjoys the obtained achievements in the same way, also my son who at the moment with 9 years already interests him this activity.

Another of my preferred activities in ham radio is the working satellites, it consists the communication of two or more ham´s through a built satellite especially for this activIty, at the present time among other can be named, UO-14(+), SO-50, AO-16, NO-44, AO-51, A0-40(+). I use for this a OSCAR antennas kit of Hy-Gain of 8 elements for VHF and 15 elements for UHF duplicated the elements for the type of polarity (RHCP or LHCP), a parabola antenna for 2.4 Ghz with UEK-3000 converter, and 1.2 Ghz hellical antenna, and VHF and UHF external receive amplifiers, I use the Yaesu FT-847 with the Nova-Unitrac software for Windows system for tracking computer.

I am member of the AMSAT VENEZUELA or AMSAT-YV who is member of AMSAT that grouping ham´s work satellite in world wide.

Configuration of the Internet-Radio Gateway System (JNOS - FBB - DX CLUSTER - APRS IGATE)

The gateway system is part of the Venezuela Packet Radio Net or YVNET in which can communicate with many venezuelan ham´s radio stations.

The digital communication is carried out in several connection platforms such as AX.25, NetRom and TCP/IP, the mostly used speeds are among the values from 300 to 9600 bps.

The bands used for this communication are those assigned by the local telecomunication autority CONATEL (Concejo Nacional de Telecomunicaciones) for the ham´s use in digital mode and this frecuencies are in H.F. shared with other digital modes as the AMTOR, FEC, RTTY, PACTOR, G-TOR, PSK31, SSTV  used mostly for the DX, we also have this comunication in the bands of V.H.F. and U.H.F.

The Radio Gateway YV5KXE is located geographically to the north of the Caracas City (10 30'54" N - 66 54'02" W) with a height of 920 MSNM, and its technical characteristics are the following:
