From the 18 April 2004 issue of QNEWS.

PLC/BPL Pilot in Hobart, Tasmania.
Justin, VK7TW, Southern Branch President says Aurora is in the process of
implementing a small pilot of PLC by providing broadband internet to 4
houses and to the 1st and 2nd floors of the Aurora office building.

Mitsubishi engineers from Japan say the pilot will run for two months after
installation which has just been completed..

VK7TW says the VK7 Southern Branch is attempting to get a site visit to
look over the installation of BPL equipment and quiz the engineers on the
technology.

In the mean while please keep your ear out for BPL/PLC type interference on
the HF bands. Keep a log of the interference that includes
time/date/band/strength etc.
