PIONEER VILLAGE — The Bullitt Amateur Radio Society traveled around the world in one weekend.

BARS hosted its annual Ham Days to promote the uniqueness of ham radioes, shout them both as a fun hobby and an important communications tool.

As a twist this year, BARS member Buddy Sohl said the group was doing everything this year based off of solar energy via solar panels. He said last year BARS implemented all generators.

According to Sohl, BARS hopes to partner with STEM students from North Bullitt High School that are involved in engineering and JROTC programs.

The 24-hour event, from 2 pm Saturday to 2 pm Sunday, was hosted at Becknell Hall. BARS meets at Becknell Hall on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 pm. For more information visit ky4ky.com.
