HB9HMR Award (eng.)

The HB9HMR Award

From January 19 to February 4 2018 a special exhibition about Ham Radio and Ham Emergency Radio will take place at the museum of local history in Reinach BL, Switzerland. The local Emergency Amateur Radio Club HB9NFB (Notfunk Birs) will be on air at the museum during the opening hours with the special call sign HB9HMR.

We will issue an award to hams who will contact us frequently. We are looking forward to making as many contacts as possible.
