HE8? What's HE8

A lot of special prefixes HE8 and HB8 can be heard on air since the beginning of the year 2009 until the end of the year 2009. This is to celebrate the Swiss Amateur Radio Club’s (USKA) 80 years anniversary.

Swiss HAM’s are authorized to change their prefixes from HB9 (CEPT-class) to HE8and from HB3 (CEPT Novice) to HB8.
