Each Amateur Radio station has its own distinctive callsign so ...
YB2SV is my ham radio station callsign, and its consist of two major elements, the preffix (YB2) and the suffix (SV).
YB2 tells to where in the world this preffix is assigned to .... YB is for Indonesia and figure 2 is for which part of Indonesia, this ham operator lives, in this case is in Central part of the Island of Java, while SV is the "number" given to the licence holder.
Quite complicated ? No, I hope not.
