Abstract
The aim of this work was to measure the radio flux density at 3.7 GHz of thermal (HII regions) and nonthermal emissions (synchrotron radiation) of Galactic radio sources. The observations were made through ESCORT, the 2 meter diameter antenna of the radioastronomy center at Universidad de Oriente (UDO), situated in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela. The antenna temperature and system temperature were calibrated by using the transit time and the flux density of the sun as reference. In adition, the HPBW and effective aperture of ESCORT were determined.
